The NOT Unbiased Transient Survey (NUTS; ATel #8992) collaboration reports the spectroscopic classification of supernova ASASSN-17pi (= SN 2017iha) in host galaxy 2MASX J08572853+2836599.
The observations were performed with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope equipped with ALFOSC (range 350-950 nm; resolution 1.6 nm) on 2017-11-28.2 UT.
Survey Name | IAU Name | Discovery (UT) | Discovery mag | Observation (UT) | Redshift | Type | Phase | Notes
ASASSN-17pi | SN 2017iha | 2017-11-19.4 | 17.5 | 2017-11-28.2 | 0.048 | Ia | post-maximum | (1)
(1) SN redshift is consistent with that of the host (NED). Good spectral match is obtained with spectra of several normal type-Ia SNe 1-3 weeks after maximum light.
Classifications were performed using the GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383) and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) tools. Calibrated spectra and additional information can be retrieved in the IAU Transient Name Server.
