Dear SN watchers, In [vsnet-campaign-sn 656] (Jul. 12): >SN2003gm 20030618.2 <190:C KAI >SN2003gm 20030706.2 170:C SCH >SN2003gm 20030711.2 170:C KAI > ># SN 2003gm (13:52:51.72, -1:06:39.2 (J2000.0), offset = 40"W, 13"N) ># is hosted by NGC 5334, a nearly face-on barred-spiral (SB(rs)c:) ># galaxy. It is a nearby galaxy, and the expected maximum for typical ># SN Ia is mag about 13.1 (!). The reported magnitude suggests, ># however, that it seems to be dim and not to be in the fast rising ># phase. It can be heavily obscured by dust, or a less luminous event ># such as SN 1987A. The European Supernova Collaboation team reported in CBET No. 30 that the spectrum of SN 2003gm taken on Jul. 16.87 UT resembles to that of dim SNe II, or luminous blue variables.
