We report the classification of astrophysical transient AT2024qkz from spectroscopic observations with the Kast spectrograph on the Shane telescope obtained on 2024 August 16 UT. The target was supplied by ZTF, 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
ZTF24aaxobdu | AT2024qkz | 15:54:44.053 | +23:36:56.27 | 0.056 | II | +20d |
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.
