Subject: SN 1999go and 1999gp I have put J-band (1.2 micron) images of the host galaxies and these two supernovae at my website: http://vsnet.astro.washington.edu/kevin/apo.html Since J is just beyond the optical portion of the spectrum, these images may help others identify the SNe. _______________________________________________________________________ Preliminary near infrared photometry by Kevin Krisciunas (Univ. of Washington) and Karen Loomis (Apache Point Observatory), 27 Dec 1999 (UT), using the APO 3.5-m telescope and the facility infrared imager GRIM II. Filters: J = 1.2 microns, K' = 2.1 microns (see Wainscoat and Cowie 1992, Astron J, 103, 332 for a description of this filter) SN 1999go (in NGC 1376): 27 Dec 1999, mean UT 01:04, J = 15.25 +/- 0.04, K' = 14.80 +/- 0.06 _______________________ SN 1999gp (in UGC 1993): 27 Dec 1999, mean UT 01:39, J = 15.92 +/- 0.07, K' = 15.05 +/- 0.08 Note that the SN is *not* the brighter foreground star just north of this galaxy's core. The SN is north and west of the core, in the plane. Kevin Krisciunas, 28 Dec 1999, 00:17 UT
