TNS Classification Report No. 1651 [ 2018TNSCR..81....1F ]
Date Received (UTC): 2018-01-17 00:42:23 Sender: Jose Prieto
Group: ASAS-SN
E. Falco, M. Calkins (Harvard CfA), J. L. Prieto (UDP/MAS), K. Z. Stanek (OSU) report/s a classification of object: SN 2018gn
Type: SN II
Remarks: We report optical spectroscopic observations of the ASAS-SN transients ASASSN-18am/AT2018gk, ASASN-18ao/AT2018gm, and ASASSN-18ap/AT2018gn (ATel #11178), obtained on UT 2018 Jan 14-16 with FAST (range 3600-7450 Angstroms) mounted on the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope. We used SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) to aid with the type, phase and redshift determination. ASASSN-18ap shows broad H-alpha and other features characteristic of a Type II SN, also with strong host galaxy contamination.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
