R. Ruffini, Y. Aimuratov, L. Becerra, C.L. Bianco, C. Cherubini, S. Filippi, Liang Li, R. Moradi, F. Rastegar Nia, J.A. Rueda, N. Sahakyan, Y. Wang, S.S. Xue, S.R. Zhang, on behalf of the ICRANet team, report:


Following the BdHN classification [Aimuratov, et al., ApJ 955 (2023) 93] and the determination of the redshift z=2.2 of transient AT2023sva (de Ugarte Postigo, et al., GCN 34740), from the energetics evaluated by Liang Li (2023) from Fermi GBM data in (2.15+/-0.13)x10^{52} erg (see attached figure), we conclude that the source is a BdHN II (GRB230916A).

We Propose to look with the James Webb Space Telescope the appearance of the associated supernova (SN) on October 31 (+/-1 day), in order to extend the GRB-SN connection in the range 1<z<3 and verify the standard candle nature of SNe Ib/c.
