Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Stefano Valenti, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell, Curtis McCully, David Sand, Leonardo Tartaglia report/s a classification of object: SN 2017ahn
Type: SN IIRedshift: 0.009
Remarks: The spectrum is low signal-to-noise but shows a blue continuum with H-alpha and H-beta emission, possibly including a broad component, at the redshift of the host galaxy (z=0.009; HIPASS Catalog via NED). We therefore tentatively classify it as a Type II supernova.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
