The NOT Unbiased Transient Survey (NUTS) collaboration reports the spectroscopic classifications of supernovae Gaia16akk, ASASSN-16ek, and ASASSN-16eq in an anonymous host galaxy, GALEXASC J072024.60+325058.8, and UGC 11898 respectively. The candidates were discovered by the Gaia Photometric Science survey and the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ATEL #8944, #8979).
The observations were performed with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope equipped with ALFOSC (range 350-950 nm; resolution 0.34 nm) on 2016-04-25 UT.
Name | Host galaxy | Redshift | Discovery (UT) | Discovery mag | Type | Phase | Notes
Gaia16akk | anon | 0.115 | 2016-04-06.82 | 18.78 | Ia | +15d | (1)
ASASSN-16ek | GALEXASC J072024.60+325058.8 | 0.0142 | 2016-04-12.29 | 16.5 | IIb | -5d | (2)
ASASSN-16eq | UGC 11898 | 0.026 | 2016-04-22.62 | 16.3 | Ia | -1d | (3)
(1) Redshift from host galaxy lines
(2) = AT 2016bmd; redshift from host galaxy lines
(3) = AT 2016bsa
Classifications were performed using the GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383) and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) tools, and are posted on WISeREP (Yaron & Gal-Yam 2012, PASP, 124, 668).
