We report the following classification of AT2024iqx from spectroscopic observations with the Kast spectrograph on the Shane telescope. The target was supplied by ZTF. All observations were made on 2024 May 17 UT. The classification was performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Notes
ZTF24aanbjel | 2024iqx | 16:24:32.312 | +59:33:45.10 | 0.0313 | SN | (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) The spectrum is blue and featureless, consistent with a young core-collapse supernova.
