Magellan/FIRE near-IR spectrum of SN 2026gzf (bottom), compared to near-IR spectra of past Type Ic-BL SNe (F. Patat et al. 2001; S. Tinyanont et al. 2024; J. C. Rastinejad et al. 2025). We mask regions contaminated by telluric features. While we observe an absorption feature ∼1 μm, the expected 2 μm feature is not well detected in our FIRE spectrum due to low signal-to-noise, precluding a firm detection of He I.
