VLT/X-Shooter spectra of SN 2017ens at +190 day. Top panel: UVB and optical (VIS) parts. Middle panel: NIR part. The main panels use a log scale in order to present details in the continuum (rebinned to 2 Å pixel−1 (UVB+VIS) and 5 Å pixel−1 (NIR)); inset panels use a linear scale without binning. Bottom panel, left: color-combined image from GROND riz′ bands. SN 2017ens is associated with host-galaxy B1+B2, and there is a possible tidal tail connecting to the nearby object A (redshift unknown). Source C is a background galaxy at z = 0.30. The X-Shooter slit position is indicated with two dashed lines. Bottom panel, right: the Hβ position in the two-dimensional raw image.
