Dear SN watchers, >PSN2003-MCG+07-36-33 20030522.4 <190:C KAI >PSN2003-MCG+07-36-33 20030601.4 186:C KAI >PSN2003-MCG+07-36-33 20030602.4 183:C KAI >PSN2003-MCG+07-36-33 20030603.4 181:C KAI > ># The object (17:44:07.72, +40:52:51.6 (J2000.0), offset = 10"W, 49"N) ># is near to MCG +07-36-33, a possibly nearby spiral (S?) galaxy. The ># appearance of the galaxy is rather small, and the new object seems ># to be located too far from the center of the galaxy. And, if it ># truely belongs to MCG +07-36-33, it is somewhat subluminous for SN ># (M about -14.5). The spectroscopic type determination is urged. The CfA team took a spectrum of a variable object near MCG +07-36-33 on June 5. It can be seen at: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/oir/Research/supernova/spectra/snvar-20030605.flm.gif . It shows that this object is really SN of type Ia, well before maximum. Si II absorption is shallow, which may indicate that it is a luminous SN Ia. And, the recession velocity of this object seems to be larger than that of MCG +07-36-33 (v_r = 1800 km/s), probably be as large as 10000 km/s. The SN may be hosted by a distant galaxy which cannot be seen on the DSS images. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
