SN 2003fa: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 629] (June 4): ># 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 has remeasured the recession velocity of MGC +07-36-33 and obtained it as 11800 km/s, so the NED value is in error. It is as same as that of SN Ia 2003fa (see [vsnet-campaign-sn 631]), so this galaxy indeed likely hosts SN 2003fa. SN 2003fb: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 633] (June 7): >SN2003fb 20021113.3 <190:C KAI >SN2003fb 20030605.5 186:C KAI >SN2003fb 20030606.4 186:C KAI > ># SN 2003fb (20:11:50.33, +5:45:37.6 (J2000.0), offset = 15"E, 13"S) ># is hosted by UGC 11522, a spiral (Sbc) galaxy. The ANU group took a ># spectrum of this object on June 6.7 UT, which revealed that it is a ># type-II SN. The Las Campanas spectrum taken on June 7.33 UT confirms this classification. SN 2003fc: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 633] (June 7): >SN2003fc 20021020.3 <190:C KAI >SN2003fc 20030605.5 184:C KAI >SN2003fc 20030606.4 183:C KAI > ># SN 2003fc (20:08:22.08, -17:36:30.5 (J2000.0), offset = 2"W, 7"N) is ># hosted by 2MASX J20082222-1736386, a small spiral(?) galaxy. The Las Campanas spectrum (June 7.37 UT) and the UCB group spectrum (June 7 UT) shows that it is SN Ic near (a few days before) maximum. The recession velocity of the host galaxy was measured as ~10500 km/s. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
