TNS Classification Report No. 15598 [ 2023TNSCR2308....1C ]
Date Received (UTC): 2023-09-18 16:30:28 Sender: Ryan Chornock

Ryan Chornock report/s a classification of object: TDE 2023mfm
Type: TDERedshift: 0.087
Remarks: The spectra (range 3500-10600 Angs) are dominated by a starlight continuum from an older stellar population with weak nebular emission lines at redshift z=0.087, diluted by a blue continuum. In comparison with galaxy templates, a broad emission feature is present near H-alpha, consistent with previous TDE spectra.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
