The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic observation of ASASSN-18ux. The targets were supplied by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014).
The observations were performed with the Asiago 1.82m Copernico Telescope (+AFOSC; range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm).
Survey name | IAU name | Host galaxy | Disc. Date (UT) | Obs. Date (UT) | redshift | type | phase | notes
ASASSN-18ux | 2018gec | UGC 3700 | 2018-09-10.46 | 2018-10-04.04 | 0.037136 | Ia | +30 days | 1
(1) Spectrum similar to those of several type Ia supernovae about four weeks after maximum light. Redshift of the host galaxy is from Rines et al. 2000, AJ 120, 2338 (via NED)
The classification was performed using the GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383)
and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) tools.
