The Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) Un-biased Transient Survey (NUTS; ATel #8992) reports the spectroscopic classifications of Gaia17bbt and ATLAS17fgz in host galaxies UGC 10019 and 2MASX J11094531+4624352, respectively. The candidates were discovered by the Gaia Photometric Science survey and the ATLAS survey (Tonry et al. 2011, PASP, 123, 58; ATel #8680).
The observations were performed with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope equipped with ALFOSC (range 350-950 nm; resolution 1.6 nm FWHM).
Survey Name | IAU Name | Discovery (UT) | Discovery mag | Observation (UT) | Redshift | Type | Phase | Notes
Gaia17bbt | SN2017dgs | 2017-04-23.30 | 17.6 | 2017-05-19.10 | 0.032 | II | +40 d | (1)
ATLAS17fgz | SN2017ebp | 2017-05-14.25 | 18.6 | 2017-05-18.92 | 0.074 | Ia | -7 to -4 d | (2)
(1) Good match with SN 1998S and SN 1979C.
(2) Normal Type Ia.
Classifications were performed using the SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) tool. Calibrated spectra and additional information can be retrieved in the IAU Transient Name Server.
