Panos Charalampopoulos report/s a classification of object: SN 2023pcs

Type: SN Ia
Redshift: 0.056

Remarks: Remarks: We report the classification of AT2023pcs as a Ia supernova based on an optical spectrum obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope on 2023-08-27 (i.e., MJD 60183.17). The transient is coincident with the nucleus of the host galaxy. Comparison with a library of supernovae spectra using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), suggests AT2023pcs is an around-peak SN Ia at a redshift of z~0.056.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
