We report the following classification of optical transient from spectroscopic observation with the Kast spectrograph on the Shane 3-m telescope. The target was supplied by ASAS-SN. The observation was made on 2018 Oct 12 UT. Classification was performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Phase | Notes
ASASSN-18xe | AT2018hdn | 21:01:34.36 | -09:26:07.87 | 0.037 | Ia-norm | around peak | 1
Notes: (1) The redshift is derived from the host-galaxy emission lines. Best SNID match is to Ia-norm SN 2007ca +6 days after maximum brightness.
