We report the following classifications of optical transients from spectroscopic observations with the Kast double spectrograph on the Shane 3-m telescope at Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton, California. Targets were supplied by ZTF. Observations were made on 2019 November 7 UT. The classifications were performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Phase | Notes
ZTF18accxltw | 2019tri | 21:17:07.028 | -06:43:27.57 | 0.029 | Ia | -2 | (1)
ZTF18aaflyqi | 2019ubo | 07:50:17.644 | +09:13:54.69 | 0.054 | Ia | +1 | (2)
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.
(1) We measure a Si II velocity of 10,800 km/s
(2) We measure a Si II velocity of 12,000 km/s
