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

Dear SN watchers,

  On IAUC 7923, the CfA team reports the spectroscopy of SN 2002dl.

># The host galaxy of SN 2002dl is UGC 11994, a edge-on spiral (Sc)
># galaxy with some Galactic extinction (A_V = 0.25).  The expected
># maximum for typical SN Ia is mag about 16.0.

It is of SN Ia with some peculiarity.  Si II absorption feature is
strongly shown around 580 nm, which suggests that it would be a
subluminous SN Ia.  It is about 2 days before maximum on June 18.43
UT. 

Sincerely Yours,
