[vsnet-campaign-sn 516] SN Ia 2002ic and SN Ib/c 2002ji

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

Dear SN watchers,

  IAUC 8028 informed the classifications of two recent SNe.

SN 2002ic:
In [vsnet-obs 42357] (Nov. 11):
>SN2002ic  20021030.0  <200C  NEM
>SN2002ic  20021113.0   185C  PAL
>SN2002ic  20021120.0   178C  PAL
>
># A host galaxy of SN 2002ic (1:30:02.55, +21:53:06.9 (J2000.0),
># offset = 4"W) is also a dim (USNO-A2.0 rmag = 18.0) galaxy possibly 
># interacting with the SE companion.

  The Baade telescope spectrum (Nov. 29.11) shows that it is a type Ia
SN near the maximum.  It is likely a luminous one.  The redshift is
0.066. 

SN 2002ji:
In [vsnet-campaign-sn 514]:
>  According to IAUC 8026, the Baade telescope at Las Campanas spectrum
>on Dec. 3.3 revealed that it is of SN Ic around 1 month after maximum.

  The Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) at La Palma spectrum on Dec 5.24
confirm that it is a SN Ib/c, but it seems to be near maximum.

Sincerely Yours,
