SN 2019vxm - a bright IIn supernova in a faint galaxy
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2019 9:53 pm
I have confirmed and classified ASASSN-19acc as a type IIn supernova (SN 2019vxm) using my ALPY 200 spectrograph (The 31st TNS classification using this equipment)

It was mag 15.6 (g) measured from the guider image when the spectrum was taken but the nearby presumed host galaxy is rather faint and until now of unknown redshift. The redshift measured from the spectrum is 0.019
The early rise was in the field of the TESS satellite so it will have a detailed light curve.
