S. Srivastav, S. J. Smartt, O. McBrien, K. W. Smith, D. R. Young, J. Gillanders report/s a classification of object: SN 2020tkx
Type: SN Ic-BL
Remarks: Broad features of Fe II and Si II are visible. Gelato suggests a reasonable match with broad-line Ic 2006aj at pre-maximum epochs, for an assumed z = 0.01. ATLAS light curve is near maximum, suggesting an unusually low absolute M ~ -16.0 for a Ic-BL, assuming z = 0.01.
