SN 2009ip

Supernova in the constellation Piscis Austrinus

SN 2009ip was a supernova discovered in 2009 in the spiral galaxy NGC 7259 in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus.^[1] Since the brightness waned after days post-discovery, it was redesignated as Luminous blue variable (LBV) Supernova impostor.^[2]

During the following years several luminous outbursts were detected from the SN 2009ip.^[3][2] In September 2012 SN 2009ip was classified as a young type IIn supernova.^[4]
