Dear SN watchers, > UGC 3804 is rather nearby galaxy (v_r = 2887 km/s). The expected >maximum for the typical SN Ia on this galaxy is mag about 14.7. The >reported brightness is rising (0.6 mag during 8 days). The >spectroscopic confirmation (also type determination) and the follow-up >magnitude estimates is quite urged. The spectrum taken on Jan 11.12 by the Asiago team has revealed that SN 2002A is of type IIn soon after explosion (IAUC 7789).
