U. Fynbo (NBI/UCPH), Anne Noer Kolborg (DTU), Frank \nGrundahl (Aarhus U.), Elena Pian (Bologna) report:\n\nWe obtained a spectrum of GWFUNC-17ure (Xu et al., LVC GCN 21675), an \noptical transient in the credible region of G298936 (LIGO/Virgo \nCollaboration, LVC GCN 21656), starting at 02:22:02.83 UT on 2017-08-25 \nusing the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC \nimaging spectrograph.\n\nFitting to the supernova templates using SNID, the source is classified \nas a SN Ia at z=0.041 about 19 days after maximum, which indicates that \nthis source is unrelated to the G298936 event. Our classification is \nconsistent with the result in Steele et al. (LVC GCN 21691).",
