The spectrum taken at # the Las Campanas Observatory on May 5.10 UT suggests that it is a # type IIn supernova with a blue continuum, at z = 0.021. The # observed brightness is comparable to the expected maximum of SN Ia, # and it remains blue a month or more from the explosion, which # suggest that this SN is somewhat peculiar.

Itagaki reported that this object can be clearly seen on his CCD images taken on 2001 May 13 and 2002 May 3, which suggests that it is a foreground star. The Las Campanas spectrum of this object on May 5.33 UT shows a featureless blue continuum. In the DSS 2 blue image this object emerged from the glow of the host galaxy, though it is buried in DSS red images. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
