Kotak (Turku), R. Bruch, A. Gal-Yam (Weizmann), C. Lemon (Lausanne), S. Blondin (CNRS, LAM) report/s a classification of object: SN 2021jpk

Type: SN Ibn
Redshift: 0.038

Remarks: The spectrum is characterized by a blue continuum with subtle narrow He P-Cygni features superimposed, indicative of a Type Ibn supernova. The spectrum is similar to that of SN 2010al two days after maximum, although SN 2021jpk has less prominent features and a bluer continuum (see attached figure). Combined with the still-rising ZTF light curve this suggests that the supernova is a few days before or at maximum. We adopted the redshift of the host as the supernova redshift.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
