The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic classification
of ASASSN-15mx (ATel #7816) in SDSS J142443.90+260255.4 discovered during the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN).
Informations on this transient are also available from the "Bright Supernova" website (http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/snimages/), and The Astronomer's Telegram. The observation was performed with the Asiago 1.82 m Copernico Telescope (+AFOSC; range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm).
Name | z | Type | Phase | Notes
ASASSN-15mx | 0.031 | Ia | ~ +9d | (1)
(1) The expansion velocity of the ejected material, as inferred from the position of the absorption of the SiII 6355 \AA, is about 10200 km/s. Best match with SN 1998bu.
Classification was done with GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488,
383) and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The Asiago classification
