Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell, Curtis McCully, Stefano Valenti report/s a classification of object: SN 2017grw
Type: SN IaRedshift: 0.017
Remarks: Using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), we find several good fits to the normal Type Ia supernovae in the week before maximum light at redshifts consistent with that of the proposed host galaxy (z=0.017; Barmby & Huchra 1998, AJ, 115, 6 via NED). The supernova is highly extinguished by its host galaxy, making a more precise phase estimate difficult.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
