Casares, L. Nuttall, B. Godson, A. Kumar on behalf of GOTO collaboration report/s a classification of object: SN 2025whv

Type: SN Ia-91T-like
Redshift: 0.1

Remarks: Reasonable matches to SN Ia and SN Ia-91T-like at z~0.1. 91T-like matches are favoured owing to the template epochs being a closer approximation of the light curve (approaching peak), the inferred current absolute magnitude of M ~ -19.4 mag, and the relatively weak Si II.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
