I. Arcavi, C. McCully, G. Hosseinzadeh, D. A. Howell (Las Cumbres Obs./UCSB), S. Valenti (UC Davis), B. Trakhtenbrot (ETH) report/s a classification of object: AT 2017fro
Type: AGNRedshift: 0.164
Remarks: The spectrum displays a blue continuum with strong ~1300 km/s wide Balmer lines at a redshift of 0.164. SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) also finds an excellent fit to an AGN at that redshift.
