[vsnet-campaign-sn 439] SN Ia 2002dj

[Hitoshi YAMAOKA <yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp>]

Dear SN watchers,

In [vsnet-campaign-sn 438]:
># The host galaxy of SN 2002dj is NGC 5018, an elliptical (E3:) galaxy
># affected by some Galactic extinction (A_V = 0.317).  The elliptical
># galaxies would produce only SNe Ia.  The position of SN is R.A. =
># 13h13m00s.34, Decl. = -19o31'08".7 (2000.0), which is about 9" west
># and 3" south of the nucleus of NGC 5018.  The expected maximum of
># typical SN Ia is mag about 14.8 (the extinction included).  It
># should be in quite early phase.  Spectral confirmation and followup
># photometries are strongly urged.    H. Yamaoka  

IAUC 7919 informed that the Padova team took a spectrum of SN 2002dj
on June 14.15 UT at La Silla, which shows that it is of type Ia well
before (~10 days) maximum light.  

Sincerely Yours,
