Abstract

We present highly sampled photometry of the supernova (SN) 2023ixf, a Type II SN in M101, beginning 2 days before its first known detection. To gather these data, we enlisted the global Unistellar Network of citizen scientists. These 252 observations from 115 telescopes show the SN's rising brightness associated with shock emergence followed by gradual decay. We measure a peak M_{V} = -18.18 pm 0.09 mag at 2023-05-25 21:37 UTC in agreement with previously published analyses.
