We report the classification of SN 2018fou, which was discovered by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (PSST), is in the K2 Campaign 19 field and on pre-selected pixels providing a high-cadence K2 light curve. Spectral observations were obtained with the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck I telescope and were performed on 2018 September 14 UT. Classifications were performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Phase | Notes
PS18blr | AT2018fou | 23:05:32.51 | +00:49:02.51 | 0.069 | Ia | +20 d |
Notes:
When the redshift is given to 2 decimal places, it is derived from the SN spectrum. Otherwise, the redshift is determined from the host galaxy.
