Daichi Hiramatsu, Yael Dgany, Iair Arcavi, Jamison Burke, D. Andrew Howell, Curtis McCully, Estefania Padilla Gonzalez, Craig Pellegrino report/s a classification of object: SN 2020aaxd
Type: SN IaRedshift: 0.1
Remarks: Using Superfit (Howell et al. 2005, ApJ, 634, 1190) and SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), we find good fits to several normal Type Ia SNe around a week before maximum at a fitted redshift of 0.1, which is consistent with a measured Si II 6355 velocity of -14,000 km/s.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
