# A host galaxy of SN 2002kg (7:37:01.83, +65:34:29.3 (J2000.0),
# offset = 62"E, 96"S) is a nearby (about 3.5 Mpc) spiral (SAB(s)cd
# HII) galaxy NGC 2403. This object is quite dim, so the
# identification would be very difficult. The UCB team spectrum
# reveals that it is type IIn supernova, resembling SNe 1997bs or
# 2000ch, which have been suggested to be a superoutburst of the
# luminous blue variables, like eta Car. The absolute magnitude of SN
# 2002kg is now about -8, which is even lower than that of SN 2000ch
# or resembling SN IIn (around -12 at its short-lived maximum). SN
# 2000ch was caught in the "premaximum halt" during a few years until
# its maximum (see IAUC 7415, 7417, 7419, and 7421), so possibly SN
# 2002kg will become brighter. Interestingly, SN 1954J in the same
# galaxy NGC 2403 (maximum B=16.5) was also very dim SN, and Smith et
# al. 2001, PASP, 113, 692 suggest that SN 1954J is of this class.
SN 2002hz:

A spectrum taken by the UCB team on Jan. 7 suggest that it is type Ib
SN roughly 2 months after maximum light.
