Dear SN watchers, IAUC 7894 informed that the spectrum of SN 2002cs, taken by the Padova team, the CfA team, and the Lick team on May 7 UT, revealed that it is of type Ia near (1-2 days before) maximum. They all noted that the expansion velocity is somewhat larger than that for a normal one, which suggests that it can be intrinsically brighter. Followup photometry is urged. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
