The photometric observations in the optical show that the light curves of SN 2013gs are similar to those of normal SNe Ia, with an absolute peak magnitude of M <SUB> B </SUB> = -19.25 ± 0.15 mag and a post-maximum decline rate ∆m <SUB>15</SUB>(B) = 1.00 ± 0.05 mag. Gehrels Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope observations indicate that SN 2013gs shows unusually strong UV emission (especially in the uvw1 band) at around the maximum light (M <SUB> uvw1</SUB> ∼ -18.9 mag). The SN is characterized by relatively weak Fe II III absorptions at ∼5000 Å in the early spectra and a larger expansion velocity (v <SUB>Si</SUB> ∼ 13,000 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> around the maximum light) than the normal-velocity SNe Ia. We discuss the relation between the {uvw}1-v color and some observables, including Si II velocity, line strength of Si II λ6355 and Fe II/III lines, and ∆m <SUB>15</SUB>(B). Compared to other fast-expanding SNe Ia, SN 2013gs exhibits Si and Fe absorption lines with similar strength and bluer {uvw}1-v color. We briefly discussed the origin of the observed UV dispersion of SNe Ia.STAMPAenObservations of a Fast-expanding and UV-bright Type Ia Supernova SN 2013gsArticle10.3847/1538-4357/aafacd2-s2.0-85062002589000458043400014https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aafacd2019ApJ...872...14ZFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
