SALT spectroscopic classification of Gaia18blo as AGN at z=2.09
Abstract
Gaia18blo (AT2018chv, 13:11:50.55 -37:30:49.43), was discovered by the Gaia Science Alerts programme on 2018-06-05 as a smooth 0.4 mag increase on a 18.9 mag blueish source at Galactic Plane latitude of about 25 deg (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts/alert/Gaia18blo/) We observed the target with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) using the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) on 2018-06-08 with PG300 grating, slit size 1.5 arcsec.
