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 1.4 mag according to the lens models used there. Classified from its light curve. Found in the VLT/ISAAC search of Goobar et al. (2009), who estimated z ~ 0.59; the host spectrum later gave z = 0.637.
