Smartt, M. Dobson (QUB), R. Kotak (Turku), R. Bruch, A. Gal-Yam (Weizmann), C. Lemon (Lausanne) report/s a classification of object: SN 2023zps
Type: SN IIRedshift: 0.042
Remarks: A classification spectrum of SN 2023zps, obtained on the night of 2023-12-12 with the ESO Very Large Telescope UT1, equipped with the FORS2 spectrograph and grism 300V, shows broad P Cygni features of hydrogen, indicating that SN 2023zps is a Type II supernova. The presence of a weak calcium triplet at 8300 Å suggests the supernova to be two to three weeks old, which is further supported by comparisons made with GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, 2008A&A...488..383H) and by the ATLAS forced photometry light curve. We have adopted the redshift of the host for the SN redshift.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
Obsdate: 2023-12-13 01:44:46
Instrument: FORS2
Telescope: The Very Large Telescope - UT1
Remarks: Quick-reduction spectrum, telluric corrected. Significant host contamination is present.
