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

Type: SN Ib
Redshift: 0.015

Remarks: The spectrum, obtained roughly two days after the initial ATLAS discovery, shows a blue continuum superimposed with several broad P Cygni features. From the narrow host H-alpha line we measure a redshift z=0.015. Assuming this redshift, the broad features are well matched by He I with absorption velocities of 14,000 km/s. Recent ZTF and ATLAS photometry show that the light curve is rising. Further follow-up is encouraged.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
