Abstract:
We report the spectroscopic classification of AT 2022ea as a Type Ia SN and AT 2022eb as a Type Ib SN.

The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic observation of AT2022ea and AT2022eb.

The observation was  obtained with the Asiago 1.82m Copernico Telescope (+ AFOSC; range 340-820 nm; resolution 2.0 nm).

AT2022ea (ASASSN-22aj) is a Type Ia SN around a week before maximum. The redshift z~0.032 is derived from SNID/GELATO SN template fitting, and is consistent with that of the host galaxy. The expansion velocity, derived from the minimum of the Si II 6355 absorption line, is 11,000 km/s.

AT2022eb (XM91HT) is a type Ib SN around maximum, similar to SN 2005bf. The spectrum is contaminated by narrow emission lines from Halpha and [O III] 5007. The redshift z~0.0335 is derived from the host galaxy Halpha.

The classification was performed using the GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383) and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) tools.
