[vsnet-campaign-sn 105] SN Ia 2000dx
Dear SN watchers,
According to IAUC 7514, a colaboration team by M. Schwartz and LOSS
KAIT has discovered new SN. It is of type Ia before maximum, and
slightly brighter (?) than the expected value.
SN 2000dx was discovered on Oct. 30.3 UT at mag about 17.3 and
slightly brighter on the next day. The position is R.A. =
2h18m26s.88, Decl. = +5o39'02".0 (2000.0), which is about 8" east and
12" south of the nucleus of ring-shaped spiral galaxy UGC 1775. SN is
superimposed on the ring. About 6" southwest of the nucleus there is
a foreground star, and also is on about 30" southeast.
The spectrum of SN 2000dx shows that it is of type Ia a few days
before maximum. Typical SN Ia on this galaxy is mag about 17.1. If
it will rise from the discovery magnitude, it should have a bright
nature. The followup photometry can reveal it.
Sincerely Yours,
Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan
