TNS Classification Report No. 4215 [ 2019TNSCR.938....1C ]

Ting-Wan Chen report/s a classification of object: SN 2019gfm
Type: SN Ic-BLRedshift: 0.182
Remarks: The low S/N spectrum shows a blue continuum with superposed very broad and shallow Mg II and Fe II lines, with the best match of the BL-Ic SN 2003jd at -2d. The redshift is obtained by the host galaxy redshift via the SDSS which is consistent with the SN features. Given the distance implies a transient Mg ~ -20.9 mag, the light curves appear still rising from the Zwicky Transient Facility (https://www.ztf.caltech.edu/; Kulkarni et al. 2018, ATel 11266). The luminosity is brighter than normal BL-Ic SNe, further follow up observations are encouraged. We also note that the transient is located 19.5 Kpc from the galaxy centre.
