OBJECT_PAGE:
WISeREP object page for SN 2012aw

TYPE:
Core-collapse supernova / Type II-P candidate, as recorded in public catalog metadata where available.

PHASE_C_ROLE:
Pilot spectral time-series object.

A–B CONTEXT:
SN2012aw was retained as the strongest special/outlier case in the Phase B light-curve analysis and the A–B bridge.
It was the most separated Phase B object in the bridge context and remained a high-tail/high-kappa attention case.

DOWNLOAD_METHOD:
Downloaded selected public spectra as ASCII from the WISeREP spectra panel.

USE_RULE:
Use public spectra only.
Preserve downloaded filenames and metadata.
Do not alter raw spectra.

TARGET_SPECTRAL_FEATURES:
H_alpha
H_beta
He_I
O_I
Ca_II
Si_II
Fe_II
Ni_Co_decay_proxy if available

PILOT ROLE:
Outlier-case spectral test.

TEST QUESTION:
Does SN2012aw remain structurally special when spectral element-line evolution is processed through:
spectral ladders
→ STRUC-PERC-I
→ alpha-application
→ normalization-reviewed v2 vectors
→ B–C / A–B–C bridge?

STATUS:
Source note created.
Ready for raw public WISeREP spectra collection.
