AT2022jle (Type: unk) discovered 2022-05-02.969 UT by Francesco Doria
Discovery Magnitude 14
Discovery made by visual telescopic observation with a 16" f4.5 newtonian telescope.
"Observed a tiny star within the NGC 3631's bulge halo, which magnitude may be of 12-15,
located approx. 0,2-0,5 arcminutes ESE from the center of the galaxy nucleus"

confused the transient object for the known star object
lying WSW from the center of galaxy nucleus )

Alias: ATLAS22mip
Discovery Magnitude 15 (Clear Filter)
 ( Rochester Supernova site | TNS 2022hrs | Forth Image)

Whilst TNS Classification records 2022hrs as a Type Ia SN, spectra taken with
my equipment this night (2022-04-27.913) suggest it is actually a Type Ib SN

Note: Wavelengths in above plot are Wavelengths as measured
(i.e. no redshift corrections are applied)
 
SN2022hrs Classification
The classification of the spectra from SN 2022hrs was discussed earlier following acquistion of
spectral images taken 2022-04-27, S1004 (see classification discussion)

Although the TNS classification is recorded as Type 1a Supernova, my analysis suggests that
SN 2022hrs it is actually a Type  Ib supernova
due to absence of Si line at 6150 A and presence of distinct (He) absorption line at 5876 A.
