We report results on the spectroscopic follow-up of Nova SMC
2001 and Nova LMC 2002 carried out at La Silla. The analysis of the
spectroscopic evolution shows that these objects belong to the Fe II class, according to the Cerro Tololo scheme. From the line fluxes
and the expansion velocities, we have derived an approximate
mass for the ejected shells of . The
filling factor measurements (
)
suggest a clumpy structure for the ejecta.
