We report the following the classification of AT2023xhb from spectroscopic observations with the Goodman spectrograph on the SOAR telescope using the AEON queue, made on 2023 Dec 07 UT. The target was supplied by Pan-STARRS and identified using the target management platform YSE-PZ (Coulter et al., 2023, PASP, 135, 4501). The classification was performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Phase | Notes
PS23kkp | AT2023xhb | 01:21:47.009 | -00:46:40.29 | 0.054 | II | +30d | (1)
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 H-alpha absorption velocity of -6,800 km/s.
We thank the SOAR observatory staff for executing this observation.
