SN2003if 20030120.2 <190C KAI SN2003if 20030920.5 176C KAI SN2003if 20030921.5 177C KAI # SN 2003if (3:19:52.61, -26:03:50.5 (J2000.0), offset = 19"E, 12"S) # is hosted by NGC 1302, a face-on early spiral ((R')SAB(rl)a) galaxy. # Some foreground stars are superimposed on the galaxy. The CfA team # has revealed that it is type Ia SN about 3 weeks after maximum based # on Sept. 22.46 UT spectrum. Considering that the expected maximum # for typical unreddened SN Ia is mag about 13.5 (!), and that the # spectrum (http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/oir/Research/supernova/spectra/snngc1302-20030922.flm.gif) # shows no remarkable extinction (and also it is consistent with the # redshift of the host galaxy (v_r = 1703 km/s)), it must be quite # peculiar SN Ia. ## Or are the reported magnitudes wrong?
