[vsnet-campaign-sn 412] SN Ia 2002cf
In [vsnet-campaign-sn 410]:
># The host galaxy of SN 2002cf is NGC 4786, a elliptical galaxy with
># some pecuriality (E+ pec). The SN is located at R.A. =
># 12h54m31s.30, Decl. = -06o51'24".8 (2000.0), which is about 16" west
># and 9" north of the nucleus of NGC 4786. There is a foreground star
># (mag about 14-5) about 40" SSW of the nucleus of the host.
># Such elliptical galaxies only produce SN Ia. The expected maximum
># for typical SN Ia is mag about 15.7. Sometimes intrinsically
># subluminous SN Ia is observed in the ellipticals.
The CfA team took a spectrum on Apr. 15.29, which revealed that it is
of probably subluminous type Ia some 3 days before maximum. The
spectrum can be seen at their Webpage:
