#1 | want to help confirm a supernova? datum

Mon Sep 19, 2016 12:16 pm

This supernova still needs confirming: its very dim though.....

This possible supernova was discovered by Tim Puckett’s amateur team 6 days ago but was embedded in the host galaxy and too faint at mag 17.6 for a spectrum.

When I checked last night, still no confirming spectrum had been submitted but it had brightened to around mag 16 so I was able to extract a spectrum (confirming it as a type Ia) using the modified ALPY 200 despite a full moon. Guider image and spectrum (compared with best fit from GELATO) attached
