Potential host galaxy: PKS 1106+023
Host redshift: 0.15742
Remarks: This transient was first observed by Ine Theunissen on the Galaxy Zoo website here: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/zookeeper/galaxy-zoo/talk/subjects/35623082. Marco Kovic started the discussion.
Photometry
Discovery (first detection):
Discovery date: 2017-03-04 04:51:36.000
Flux: 21.79 ABMag
Filter: R-Cousins
Instrument: DECAM
