Core-collapse supernova behind Abell 1689, one of six in the near-infrared supernova searches compiled by Petrushevska et al. (2016); the cluster brightens it by about 1.58 mag according to the lens models used there. Classified from its light curve. Reported by Amanullah et al. (2011) as a highly magnified supernova at z = 1.703.
