Ravjit Kaur (UCSC), Kishore Patra (UCSC), Kyle Davis (UCSC), Ryan Foley (UCSC) report/s a classification of object: SN 2025msx

Type: SN Ic-BL
Redshift: 0.014

Remarks: When the redshift is given to 2 decimal places, it is derived from the SN spectrum. Otherwise, the redshift is determined from the host galaxy. The observed spectrum is particularly red, and assuming a typical blue spectrum for a young SN, the color can be attributed to dust reddening of E(B-V) ~ 1.2 mag. The spectrum has broad spectral features consistent with that of a SN Ic-BL soon after peak brightness. The ATLAS light curve is either still rising or at peak, and so we caution that the phase reported is likely biased by ~7 days. Correcting for the derived reddening and a Hubble-flow distance accounting for Virgo inflow and the Great Attractor, we find an absolute magnitude of M_o = -19.0 mag, consistent with a SN Ic-BL before peak brightness.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
