[vsnet-campaign-sn 197] SN 2001br in UGC 11260
Dear SN watchers,
Succeeding British discoveries! M. Armstrong discovered a bright SN
2001br, only two weeks since his last SN discovery (2001bf).
IAUC 7627 reports the position of SN 2001br as: R.A. = 18h30m25s.55,
Decl. = +34o06'13".0 (2000), 2" east and 2" north of the nucleus of
the barred-spiral (SBb) galaxy UGC 11260. The new object is
superimposed on the "bulge" region, which locates center of the bar.
Due to somewhat low galactic latitude (b = 18.8o), there are several
foreground stars around the galaxy, but the SN is quite near to the
nucleus.
The spectroscopy has revealed that it is of type Ia SN near (or
shortly before) the maximum light. It was mag 16.0 (unfiltered CCD)
on May 21.117 UT. The expected maximum of typical SN Ia on this
galaxy is mag about 16.5 (the extinction is also considered), so it
can be intrinsically somewhat bright SN. Follow-up observation would
be useful.
Sincerely Yours,
