Abstract:
Here we report the classification of SN 2021nxq (ZTF21abcpsjy) as a SLSN-I at z=0.15.

The Recommender Engine For Intelligent Transient Tracking (REFITT) collaboration reports the classification of SN 2021nxq [ZTF21abcpsjy] from MDM 2.4m Hiltner Telescope observations with OSMOS. Targets were selected from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF; Bellm et al. 2019) processed through the Antares data broker (Narayan et al. 2018). Classification and the associated redshift were made by manual inspection with the best match to SN 2010gx (-4 days) published in Pastorello et al. (2010, ApJ, 724, L16).
