[vsnet-campaign-sn 470] spectral classifications of two recent SNe

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

Dear SN watchers,

 The Cfa team has taken spectra of recent two SNe, which can be seen
at:
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/oir/Research/supernova/RecentSN.html .

SN 2002es:
In [vsnet-campaign-sn 466] (Aug. 27):
>SN2002es  20020215.2 <190:C  KAI
>SN2002es  20020812.5  185:C  KAI
>SN2002es  20020823.5  164:C  KAI
>SN2002es  20020824.5  163:C  KAI
>
># UGC 2708, the host galaxy of SN 2002es (offset 19"W, 25"N), is a
># lenticular (S0) galaxy, which produce SN Ia only.  The reported
># magnitude is consistent with the expected maximum for typical SN Ia.

  It is a peculiar (subluminous) type Ia SN near maximum on Sept. 3
UT. 

SN 2002eu: 
In [vsnet-obs 41120] (Sept. 1):
>SN2002eu  20020820.4 <190:C  KAI
>SN2002eu  20020825.4  188:C  KAI
>SN2002eu  20020830.4  174:C  KAI
>
># The host galaxy of SN 2002eu is LEDA 212843 = 2MASXi J0149427+323730. 
># The recession velocity of the host galaxy is 11280 km/s, so the
># discovery magniture (174:C) is consistent to the expected maximum
># for typical SN Ia.

  It is type Ia SN several days after maximum on Sept. 3 UT.  The
recession velocity is roughly estimated to be about 10000 km/s.

Sincerely Yours,
