SN 2003bg: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 568] (Feb. 28): >SN2003bg 20021107.0 <180:C CHA >SN2003bg 20030225.7 150:C CHA >SN2003bg 20030226.6 150:C CHA > ># SN 2003bg (4:10:59.42, -31:24:50.3 (J2000.0), offset = 16"W, 24"S) ># is hosted by MCG -05-10-15, a nearby barred-spiral (SB(s)c) galaxy. ># The expected maximum for typical SN Ia is mag about 13.0(!), but ># considering that it has remained constant for one day, it seems not ># in the rapid rising phase. Anyway, further photometry and spectral ># classification is urged. In IAUC 8084, the UCB team suggest that its spectrum resembles to that of peculiar type Ic SN (or type-Ic hypernova) about 2 weeks after explosion! SN 2003bg is quite nearby object (comparable to the Virgo cluster). The discovery magnitude is comparable to that of normal gravitational-collapse event, which resembles to SN 2002ap. The followup magnitude estimates and drawing the light curve is encouraged.
