Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / Multifibre spectrographic observations of the bipolar helium nova V445 Puppis were made over fivenights (two nights in January 2006 and three nights in January 2007) using the IMACS Integral Field Lnit spectrograph on the Magellan I Telescope. Of these. spectra from the two best nights. 4 January 2006 and 8 January 2007, were reduced. extracted. calibrated and analysed in this thesis. The spectra extracted from sewn target frames in 2006 and six target frames in 2007 were combined for -100 individual fibres. The two-dimensional spectra were then recombined into a data cube to create a three-dimensional picture of the emission from the nova.
