Kishore C. Patra (UCB), Thomas G. Brink (UCB), Alexei V. Filippenko (UCB), Yuhan Yao (UCB) and Ryan Chornock (UCB) on behalf of the ZTF TDE/AGN group report/s a classification of object: AT 2023wdb
Type: TDERedshift: 0.06
Remarks: We report the classification of ZTF23abkixdb/AT2023wdb as a tidal disruption event (TDE) in a galaxy at redshift z=0.06. Discovered by ZTF on 2023-Nov-01, the TDE appears to be peaking in brightness. A spectrum obtained on MJD 60257.1 with the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory has a blue continuum with broad H and He II lines. The spectrum has been uploaded to TNS.
The following Classification spectrum was provided:
