As part of the Observational Techniques II course at Stockholm University (SU) using the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma for remote observing on May 8th 2024, we obtained spectroscopic observations of 1 transient. Here we report the classification obtained through spectral matching using GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008) and SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2011). The observations were taken with the ALFOSC instrument mounted on the NOT using gr#4 and a 1.0 arcsec wide slit. The targets reported here were obtained from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF, Bellm et al. 2019), where an experiment is currently ongiong (astronote/2024-123).
SU students thank support astronomers Alba and Samuel and the NOT staff for helping perform the remote observations.
Below we list the classified objects. All the spectra can be accessed through the Transient Name Server and also the WISeREP repository.
