Spectroscopic classification of AT2018avk as a likely SLSN I
Abstract
We obtained an optical spectrum of AT2018avk using the Blue Channel Spectrograph mounted on the 6.5m MMT Telescope (3400-8400 angstroms). AT2018avk was reported to the Transient Name Server (https://wis-tns.weizmann.ac.il/) by the ESA Gaia Photometric Science Alerts Team and DPAC (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts).
