ATLAS20bgez (AT2020abcq): discovery of a candidate SN in ESO 563- G 017 (58 Mpc)
Abstract
Here we report the ATLAS discovery of the transient ATLAS20bgez (AT2020abcq) in galaxy ESO 563- G 017 at magnitude m_o = 18.80 +/- 0.18. At a distance of 58 Mpc, the transient was discovered on MJD = 59181.58 (2020-11-28.58) with an absolute magnitude of M = -15.32 +/- 0.18. The last non-detection through forced photometry was on MJD = 59169.55. Spectroscopic classification is encouraged.
