How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19730049 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
SN 2004dj
SN 2004dj is a relatively nearby Type II-P supernova discovered in 2004 in the spiral galaxy NGC 2403, notable for being one of the brightest and closest core-collapse supernovae observed in recent decades.
-
B.
SN 2014J
SN 2014J is a Type Ia supernova discovered in 2014 in the nearby starburst galaxy Messier 82, becoming one of the closest and most extensively studied supernovae in recent decades.
-
C.
V838 Monocerotis
V838 Monocerotis is a peculiar variable star best known for its spectacular 2002 outburst and subsequent expanding light echo, which produced some of the most striking astronomical images ever captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
-
D.
SN 1987A
SN 1987A is a famous supernova, the closest observed in modern times, whose 1987 explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud has provided key insights into stellar death and supernova physics.
-
E.
SN 1993J
SN 1993J is a well-studied Type IIb supernova that occurred in the nearby galaxy Messier 81 and became one of the brightest and most extensively observed supernovae of the late 20th century.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
