Abstract:
We have obtained an optical spectrum of SN 2021cdw, which shows it to be a young Type II supernova.

The adH0cc programme for an "accurate determination of H0 with core-collapse supernovae" reports the classification of the optical transient {SN 2021cdw}. The target was supplied by the Zwicky Transient Facility ZTF (Kulkarni 2018, 2018ATel11266....1K) and the ATLAS survey (Tonry et al. 2018, 2018PASP..130f4505T). The observations were performed on the night of 2021 February 11 with the ESO Very Large Telescope UT1, equipped with the FORS2 spectrograph and grism 300V, covering a wavelength range from 3400 to 9600 Å at a resolution of 10 Å.

The phase was estimated based on the ZTF non-detection 6 days prior to the observation. We adopted the redshift of the host for the supernova redshift.14:05:31.804-25:21:54.37SN II0.03969
