Dear SN watchers,

In [vsnet-campaign-sn 494] (Nov. 5)
>SN2002hl  20020404.0   <185C  Bol

># NGC 3665, a host galaxy of SN 2002hl (11:24:40.12, +38:46:03.0
># (J2000.0), offset = 42"W, 17"N), is a nearly lenticular (SA(s)0^0^)
># galaxy, which likely produce only SN Ia, whose expected maximum is
># mag about 13.9.  If this is the case, it should be one (or mixed) of
># the followings: a) reddened by dust in the host galaxy,  b) very
># subluminous, or c) several month old.   The possibility that it is
># rising is unlikely because it remains almost constant for 1 day.
># The last negative observation by T. Boles was on June 1 (limiting
># magnitude was not reported).  

  According to IAUC 8011, the ESO team and the UCB team has revealed
that it is type Ia SN about one or two months after the maximum light 
on Nov. 5-6.
