Yen-Chen Pan report/s a classification of object: SN 2016Q

Type: SN Ibn
Redshift: 0.103

Remarks: A SN Ibn at redshift z=0.103. The spectrum has clear relatively narrow (FWHM = 950 km/s) He I 5876 emission on top of a broader base. No broad H beta emission is detected. We detect narrow H beta, but its width (FWHM = 300 km/s) is at the resolution of the spectrograph. Along with narrow [O II] and [O III] emission, the H beta is most likely galactic emission and unrelated to the SN.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
