M A Tucker (IfA, UH Manoa) on behalf of the SCAT team report/s a classification of object: SN 2020tef

Type: SN I
Redshift: 0.05

Remarks: Likely SN Ia a few weeks after maximum light. Cross-correlation with a template library via SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007) returns several matches to SNe Ia. However, without confirmation from the SiII6355A feature, post-maximum SN Ibc templates also qualitatively match the spectrum with lower quality results.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:

Obsdate: 2020-10-11 14:18:14
Instrument: SNIFS
