TNS Classification Report No. 15129 [ 2023TNSCR1521....1H ]
Date Received (UTC): 2023-06-28 14:51:55 Sender: Jason Hinkle
Group: SCAT
Jason Hinkle on behalf of SCAT report/s a classification of object: TDE 2023lli
Type: TDERedshift: 0.036
Remarks: Broad (~15,000 km/s) H emission at z = 0.036 and possible He emission. Deep Balmer absorption consistent with a quiescent Balmer strong host galaxy. ASAS-SN and ATLAS photometry show the source to be on the rise over the last 2 weeks. At the current magnitude of g ~ 18.6 mag and accounting for moderate foreground extinction the source has an absolute magnitude of ~ -17.8 mag. The transient and host properties suggest a TDE classification.
