ATLAS22akn (AT2022bn): discovery of a candidate SN in NGC 5605 (52 Mpc)
Abstract
Here we report the ATLAS discovery of the transient ATLAS22akn (AT2022bn) in galaxy NGC 5605 at magnitude m_o = 18.54 +/- 0.18. At a distance of 52 Mpc, the transient was discovered on MJD = 59580.62 (2022-01-01.62) with an absolute magnitude of M = -15.22 +/- 0.18. The object has emerged from solar conjunction so there are no meaningful non-detections to report.
