TNS Classification Report No. 853 [ 2017TNSCR.334....1B ]
Date Received (UTC): 2017-03-21 23:06:04 Sender: Thomas Brink
Group: LOSS
Thomas Brink, Goni Halevi, Isaac Shivvers, Alex Filippenko (UC Berkeley) report/s a classification of object: SN 2017B
Type: SN Ia
Remarks: We report the acquisition of a low-S/N CCD spectrum (range 420-700 nm) of SN 2017B, obtained on Jan. 29, 2017 UT with the Shane 3-m reflector (+ Kast spectrograph) at Lick Observatory. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "SuperNova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) suggests this observation of SN 2017B best matches a normal type Ia ~1 month after peak.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
Obsdate: 2017-01-29 11:57:26
Instrument: KAST
Telescope: 3m Lick Shane Reflector
