IC 1050

IC 1050 is a type Sbc spiral galaxy located in constellation Boötes. It is located 491 million light-years from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 130,000 light-years. IC 1050 was discovered by Stephane Javelle on June 3, 1892.

Supernovae
Two supernovae have been discovered in IC 1050: SN 2020jgs and SN 2021och.

SN 2020jgs

SN 2020jgs was discovered via r-ZTF filters from a Palomar 1.2m Oschin telescope on May 4, 2020, by K. De from Caltech on the behalf of Zwicky Transient Facility. SN 2020jgs had a magnitude of 18.3 and classified as a Type Ia supernova.

SN 2021och

SN 2021och was discovered via r-ZTF filters taken also from a Palomar 1.2m Oschin telescope on June 1, 2021. The supernova was reported by A. Munoz-Arancibia, F. Forster, F.E. Bauer, G. Pignata, L. Hernandez-Garcia, L. Galbany, E. Camacho, J. Silva-Farfan, and other astronomers, on the behalf of ALeRCE broker (Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events). SN 2021och had a magnitude of 18.8 and located at redshift 0.032. It was confirmed to be Type Ia which probably resulted from the explosion of a white dwarf.
