Dear SN watchers, >SN2003gj 20030603.4 <185:C KAI >SN2003gj 20030630.4 177:C KAI >SN2003gj 20030701.4 176:C KAI > ># SN 2003gj (21:07:19.18, -25:29:23.6 (J2000.0), offset = 15"W, 9"S) ># is hosted by NGC 7017, an interacting pair galaxy near the center of ># the cluster ABELL 3744. The offset was with respect to the western ># component. The discovery magnitude is consistent with the expected ># maximum for typical SN Ia. The UCB team took a specrum of this object on July 7 UT, which reveals that is it probably a type Ia SN about 1 week after maximum. It shows some peciliarity. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamoaka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
