Abstract
We present full photometric coverage and spectroscopic data for soft gamma-ray burst GRB 201015A with a redshift z = 0.426. Our data span a time range of 85 d following the detection of GRB. These observations revealed an underlying supernova SN 201015A with a maximum at 8.54 ± 1.48 d (rest frame) and an optical peak absolute magnitude $-19.45_{-0.47}^{+0.85}$ mag. The SN stands out clearly, since the contribution of the afterglow at this time is not dominant, which made it possible to determine SN's parameters. A comparison of these parameters reveals that the SN 201015A is the earliest (the minimum Tmax) known SN associated with GRBs. Spectroscopic observations during the SN decay stage showed broad lines, indicating a large photospheric velocity, and identified this SN as a Type Ic-BL. Thus, the SN 201015A associated with the GRB 201015A becomes the 27th SN/GRB confirmed by both photometric and spectroscopic observations. Using the results of spectral analysis based on the available data of Fermi-GBM experiment, the parameters Ep,i = 20.0 ± 8.5 keV and Eiso = (1.1 ± 0.2) × 1050 erg were obtained. According to the position of the burst on the Ep,i-Eiso correlation, GRB 201015A was classified as a type II (long) GRB, which was also confirmed by the T90,i-EH diagram.
