Dear SN watchers, IAUC 7968 informed spectral classifications of several recent SNe by M. Hamuy with the Las Campanas Dupont 2.5-m telescope. SN 2002eq: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 466] (Aug. 27) >SN2002eq 20020704.0 <205C PAL >SN2002eq 20020719.0 <205C PAL >SN2002eq 20020808.36 196C PAL >SN2002eq 20020818.3 194C PAL > ># An apparent host galaxy of SN 2002eq is APMUKS(BJ) ># B211613.63-162951.1, which seems to be a quite distant galaxy. It is SN Ia, about 20 days after maximum on Sept. 12.17. The redshift of the host galaxy is estimated as 0.088. SN 2002ez: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 472] (Sept. 9) >SN2002ez 20010906.0 <205C PAL >SN2002ez 20021127.0 <205C PAL >SN2002ez 20020723.28 176C PAL >SN2002ez 20020723.40 176C PAL >SN2002ez 20020729.0 185C PAL >SN2002ez 20020808.0 184C PAL >SN2002ez 20020820.0 189C PAL >SN2002ez 20020826.0 193C PAL > ># The host galaxy of SN 2002ez is 2MASXi J220205-135958, apparently a ># distant barred-spiral galaxy. Reported offset was 4"E, 18" S, but ># if the reported position is correct, the offset toward south is as ># larger as 23". There is a foreground star (rmag = 17.8 in ># USNO_A2.0) between SN and the galaxy. It is also a SN Ia, about 18 days after maximum on Sept. 12.27, although it seems inconsistent with the reported photometries. The redshift of the host galaxy is about 0.043. SN 2002fa: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 472] (Sept. 9): >SN2002fa 20020701.0 <205C PAL >SN2002fa 20020720.0 <205C PAL >SN2002fa 20020803.0 <205C PAL >SN2002fa 20020824.34 194C PAL >SN2002fa 20020824.39 194C PAL >SN2002fa 20020901.0 193C PAL > ># The host galaxy of SN 2002fa is an anonymous distant spiral galaxy. It is of type II. The redshift of the host galaxy is 0.060. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
