Dear SN watchers,

IAUC 7810 informed that a spectrum of SN 2002ao (Gal-Yam and
Shemeer, Tel Aviv Univ., taken at Wise Observatory) shows a blue
continuum with broad features, which cannot be identified with Si, He,
or H. They quoted the resemblance with type IIb SN 1996cb around
maximum. Further observation is needed.
Sincerely Yours,
