We report the classification of AT 2026mko from spectroscopic observations with the Kast spectrograph on the Shane telescope obtained on 2026 May 15 UT. The target was supplied by DCAP (selected from the ZTF data stream). Follow-up was coordinated 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
DCAP77 | AT2026mko | 15:46:22.344 | -09:34:29.27 | 0.08 | SN Ia | -8 |
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.
