Sebastian Gomez (STScI), Daichi Hiramatsu (Harvard CfA), Peter Blanchard (Northwestern), Edo Berger (Harvard CfA) report/s a classification of object: SN 2022le
Type: SLSN-IRedshift: 0.2491
Remarks: 2022le was selected as part of our FLEET effort to find superluminous supernovae with a P(SLSN-I) = 0.41 (Gomez et al., 2020, ApJ, 904, 74). The redshift of z = 0.2491 was determined from host galaxy emission lines. The best match is to a SN Ic, at this redshift the peak absolute magnitude is M_r ~ -21.1, motivating the SLSN-I classification.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
Obsdate: 2022-03-23 00:00:00
