Swift observation of PS1-12fo (=CSS120121)
Abstract
PS1-12fo is a spectroscopically confirmed, very luminous supernova with similarities to SN2010gx, lying at redshift z=0.175 (Valenti et al. ATels #2668, #3351; Smartt et al. Atel #3918). A Swift ToO was executed starting from 2012-02-13T16:55:19 UT. Swift-UVOT observations have been obtained in the 6 optical/UV filters. A source is marginally detected at the SN position in the v, b, u and m2 filters, while it is seen faintly in the w1 and w2 filters.
