Observations of the low-luminosity Type Iax supernova 2019gsc: a fainter clone of SN 2008ha?

Observations of the low-luminosity Type Iax supernova 2019gsc: a fainter clone of SN 2008ha?

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint-and-fast evolving type Iax SN 2019gsc, extending from the time of g-band maximum until about fifty days post maximum, when the object faded to an apparent r-band magnitude m_r = 22.48+/-0.11 mag. SN 2019gsc reached a peak luminosity of only M_g …
