Group: FLEET
Megan Newsome (UT Austin), Sebastian Gomez (UT Austin) report/s a classification of object: SN 2026aff
Type: SN IaRedshift: 0.0996
Remarks: AT2026aff was selected as a possible TDE by our FLEET program with a P(TDE) = 0.39 (Gomez et al., 2023, ApJ, 949, 113). The redshift of z = 0.0996 was determined from the transient features. We find a best match to SNe Ia using SNID-SAGE (Stoppa et al. in prep: https://github.com/FiorenSt/SNID-SAGE).
