[vsnet-campaign-sn 399] types of recent SNe



Dear SN watchers,

  The CfA team has taken spectra of some recent SNe.

SN 2002bt:

In [vsnet-obs 39185]:
>SN2002bt  20020325.4   179:C  KAI
>
># It is a distant SN, which seems not to reach 17 mag.

It is of type Ia, about 2 weeks after maximum on Apr. 3. 

SN 2002bv:

In [vsnet-campaign-sn 396]:
># UGC 4042 = the host of SN 2002bv is a distant spiral galaxy.  The
>expected maximum for typical SN Ia is mag about 17.0.

It is type IIn supernova, like as SN 2002bu.  

SN 2002bx:

In [vsnet-campaign-sn 397]:

>  The recession velocity of IC 2461 is measured as 2260 km/s.  The
>Galactic extinction is negligible.  If it is unreddened by the
>interstellar matter in the host galaxy, the expected maximum for
>typical SN Ia is mag about 14.0.  The spectroscopic classification and
>the followup magnitude estimates are urged.

It is normal type-II SN caught on the early phase.  The continuum is
quite blue, but narrow Na D lines are visible.

The spectra of these supernovae can be seen at the CfA site:
