The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic observation of SN 2020gpe and AT 2020hhg.

The targets were supplied by the Italian Supernova Search Proget (ISSP, http://italiansupernovae.org ) and Zwicky Transient Facility (https://www.ztf.caltech.edu/; Kulkarni et al. 2018, ATel #11266), and reported in the Transient Name Server (TNS).

The observations were obtained with the Asiago 1.82m Copernico Telescope (+ AFOSC grism#4; range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm).

(1) The spectrum is consistent with those of SN II/IIb few days after explosion. The redshift is from NED .

(2) The spectrum shows a strong blue continuum and a weak Halpha emission core which is surrounded by broad absorption troughs. Higher Balmer lines, as well as He I features, are in pure absorption.

The classification was performed using the GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383)
and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) tools.
