The NOT Unbiased Transient Survey (NUTS; ATel #8992) collaboration reports the spectroscopic classifications of supernova ASASSN-16fp in UGC 11868. The candidate was discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, ATEL#9086).

The observations were performed with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope equipped with ALFOSC (range 350-950 nm; resolution 1.4 nm) on 2016-05-28.15 UT.

 
Name        | Host gx.  | Redshift | Discovery (UT) | Discovery mag | Type      | Phase   | Notes 
 
ASASSN-16fp | UGC 11868 | 0.0036   | 2016-05-27.55  |15.7           | Ic-broad  | pre-max | (1)  

(1) Also known as SN 2016coi. The redshift of the host galaxy (UGC 11868) is from Giovanelli and Haynes 1993, AJ, 105, 1271; via NED. Best match with the broad line Type Ic SN 2006aj a few days before the maximum brightness.

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).
