Kohki Uno (Kyoto University), Tatsuya Nakaoka (Hiroshima University), Kenta Taguchi (Kyoto University), Keiichi Maeda (Kyoto University), Masaki Tsurumi (Kyoto University) report/s a classification of object: SN 2023uta

Type: SLSN-I
Redshift: 0.036812

Remarks: Our spectrum is similar to that of SLSN-I 2017egm. In addition, considering its photo-z redshift (z=0.037), the absolute magnitude reaches ~-20mag. Therefore, we propose that this transient is an SLSN-I.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
