MUSE spectrum of AT2025ulz reported by S. Banerjee et al. (2025a) and DESI host spectrum of AT2025ulz. The MUSE spectrum classifies AT2025ulz as a Type IIb SN. The top panel shows both spectra normalized by their median flux while the bottom panel shows the MUSE spectrum with the DESI spectrum subtracted. Tellurics are denoted with ⊕ and the Hα and N II complex is masked out in the subtraction. A clear P Cyg Hα shape can be seen.
