K. Taggart, C. Rojas-Bravo, K. W. Davis, R. J. Foley (UCSC) report/s a classification of object: SN 2022aj
Type: SN IaRedshift: 0.03
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
Obsdate: 2022-02-01 13:40:56
Instrument: KAST
Telescope: 3m Lick Shane Reflector
Remarks: ATel #15218. The SN redshift is consistent with the redshift of ESO 448- G 008 at z= 0.023590 (138 Mpc). The SN is 60 arcseconds from the host nucleus, which corresponds to a physical distance of 40 kpc. Another possibility is that the SN host galaxy is fainter than the detection limit of Pan-STARRS images, corresponding to M > -14.3 mag at z ~ 0.03.
