IC 4588

IC 4588 is a type E[1] elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Serpens.[2][3] It is located 729 million light-years from the Solar System[4] and has a dimension of 0.30 x 0.3 arcmin meaning its diameter is 64,000 light-years across.[5] IC 4588 was discovered by Stephane Javelle on July 15, 1903.[6]

Supernova

One supernova has been discovered in IC 4588 so far: SN 2023ifv.

SN 2023ifv

SN 2023ifv was discovered on May 13, 2023[7] by ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) which was developed by the University of Hawaii.[8] It was reported by multiple astronomers from University of Hawaii, South African Astronomical Observatory, ESO, UAI Obstech, Oxford/QUB, Queen's University Belfast, Oxford and Harvard; via a cyan-ATLAS filter which was taken using ATLAS Haleakala telescope.[9] The supernova reached a magnitude of 18.[10]

On May 19, 2023, C. Fremling, D. Neill, and Y. Sharma on the behalf of the SDEM Team from Caltech and the Zwicky Transient Facility, confirmed SN 2023ifv to be a Type Ia supernova.[11][12] The supernova probably resulted from the destruction of a white dwarf in a binary system.[13][14]
