| contents | We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the low-luminosity (LL) Type IIP supernova SN\,2024abfl. The distance to its host galaxy is highly uncertain, with independent estimates of $9.5^{+2.3}_{-2.4}$ Mpc and $15.0^{+8.9}_{-1.9}$ Mpc. Even adopting the larger distance, the inferred plateau luminosity is only $\sim 10^{41}\rm erg\,s^{-1}$, placing SN 2024abfl at the extreme faint end of SNe IIP population. Its light curve exhibits a long-lasting plateau of approximately 110 days. The spectra show exceptionally low expansion velocities, with the \FeII\, velocity of $\sim1200\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$ at 50 days after the explosion, significantly lower than the typical values of $\sim2000-5500\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$ observed in SNe IIP, placing SN\,2024abfl among the slowest-expanding LL SNe IIP. Bolometric modeling yields a synthesized $^{56}$Ni mass of $\sim0.002-0.004\,\rm M_\odot$, though this estimate remains subject to significant uncertainty owing to the poorly constrained distance. Considering the plateau color and duration, the magnitude drop from plateau to tail, and the progenitor luminosity, we favor a low-mass core-collapse origin for SN\,2024abfl. |
