Jacob Wise (LJMU), K-Ryan Hinds (LJMU), Daniel Perley (LJMU), Ava Huddleston (UCLA), Atticus Cummings (UCLA), R. Michael Rich (UCLA), Jesper Sollerman (OKC) report/s a classification of object: SN 2024ykl

Type: SN Ic
Redshift: 0.03

Remarks: Spectrum is well fit to SN Ic and SN Ia templates using Next Generation Superfit (NGSF, Goldwasser et al. 2022). However, lack of prominent Si II absorption and a peak absolute magnitude of g ~ r ~ -18 suggests SN Ic. Redshift obtained from host galaxy emission lines. It should be noted that this event is coincident with the position of the event 2002kj.
