Dear SN watchers,

SN 2003H:
In [vsnet-campaign-sn 532] (Jan. 10):
>SN2003H  20030103.0  <190:C  KAI
>SN2003H  20030108.3   178:C  KAI
>SN2003H  20030109.6   180C   BAO
>
># A host galaxy of SN 2003H (6:16:25.68, -21:22:23.8 (J2000.0)) is an
># interacting pair NGC 2207 (SAB(rc)bc pec) + IC 2163 (SB(rs)c pec).
># An offset from IC 2163 = eastern component of the pair is reported
># as 32"W, 10"N.  An offset from NGC 2207 is derived as 51"E, 2"S.  
># The classification was not been reported on IAUC 8045.  NGC 2207 had
># produced SN Ia 1975A (B=14.7 at maximum) and SN Ib(?) 1999ec
># (discovery mag about 17.9, past maximum).   

  IAUC 8047 informed that spectra taken with Baade-6.5m telescope on
Jan. 9 and 10 UT reveal that it is type IIb SN.  It resembles SN Ib
1984L before maximum light, but much more red probably due to its
intrinsic color. 

Sincerely Yours,
