Daniel Perley (LJMU), Cristina Barbarino, Jesper Sollerman, Tassilo Schweyer (Stockholm), Steve Schulze, Yi Yang (Weizmann) report/s a classification of object: SN 2020jfo

Type: SN II
Redshift: 0.005224

Remarks: Spectra were obtained with LT/SPRAT, NOT/ALFOSC, and P60/SEDM within 24 hours of discovery. Analysis of the spectra using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007) shows a good match to SN 1999gi, a Type IIP SN, about 7 days before maximum light. We suggest that SN 2020jfo is a young Type II supernova. See our accompanying AstroNote for details.
