Megan Newsome (LCO/UCSB), Joseph Farah, D. Andrew Howell, Curtis McCully, Estefania Padilla Gonzalez, Craig Pellegrino, Giacomo Terreran report/s a classification of object: SN 2023gss

Type: SN II
Redshift: 0.020541

Remarks: We find broad Ha in a rising blue target indicating a SN II at early phases. The supernova is closest to ESO 510- G 057 (z = 0.020541, 20096dF...C...0000J; value from NED). The g-band absolute magnitude roughly coeval with the spectrum is approximately -16.7 (apparent magnitude 18.1). The absolute magnitude, high velocities, and blue continuum indicate that the SN is young. Further followup is encouraged.
