Sebastian Gomez (Harvard CfA), Daichi Hiramatsu (Harvard CfA), Edo Berger (Harvard CfA), Harsh Kumar (Harvard CfA), Peter Blanchard (Harvard CfA) report/s a classification of object: SN 2024qud

Type: SN Ia
Redshift: 0.13

Remarks: 2024qud was selected as a possible TDE by our FLEET program with a P(TDE) = 0.70 (Gomez et al., 2023, ApJ, 949, 113). The redshift of z = 0.13 was determined from a C&H doublet. We find a best match to Type Ia SN 2013dy ~6 days after peak using NGSF (AstroNote 2022-191), which agrees with the peak magnitude of the transient of M_r ~ -1.97.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
