Abstract

The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) facility continuously scans the same sky strip (∼22′ wide) on each night with a fixed pointing towards the zenith direction. It is possible to detect hundreds of supernovae (SNe) each year by implementing an optimal image subtraction technique on consecutive night images. Prompt monitoring of ILMT-detected SNe is planned under the secured target of opportunity mode using ARIES telescopes (1.3m DFOT and 3.6m DOT). Spectroscopy with the DOT facility will be useful for the classification and detailed investigation of SNe. During the commissioning phase of the ILMT, supernova (SN) 2023af was identified in the ILMT field of view. The SN was further monitored with the ILMT and DOT facilities. Preliminary results based on the light curve and spectral features of SN 2023af are presented.
