SN 2022crr: A Nearby Broad-lined Type Ic Supernova

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2022crr, a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (Ic-BL) discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility. SN 2022crr exhibits high expansion velocities and a luminous light curve, consistent with other Type Ic-BL SNe. We analyze multi-band photometry to estimate key parameters within the system, including the progenitor mass. We compare its spectral evolution with those of other well-studied SNe Ic-BL. These observations contribute to the growing sample of Ic-BL supernovae, which are of particular interest due to their connection to long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs).
