Subject: SNe information from IAUC 8211 In IAUC 8211, the UCB team report the spectra of some SNe taken on Sept. 28 UT with Keck-I telescope. SN 2003hf: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 682] (Aug. 30): > It is probably type II SN, but has very blue continuum for 2 weeks >after explosion. It is indeed a type II SN. It is likely a type II-L (linearly decliner), so the photometry and light curve drawing of this object should be important. SN 2003hp: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 682] (Aug. 30): > It is also probably a SN with a blue continuum, but certain >classification is uncertain. The recession velocity is measured as >15000 km/s, which differs from the NED value (6378 km/s). It was turned out to be a peculiar type Ic SN (SN 1998bw-like, say, hypernova), about 1 month after maximum. SN 2003ht: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 683] (Sep. 3): >SN2003ht 20030118.2 <195:C KAI >SN2003ht 20030129.2 <190:C KAI >SN2003ht 20030901.5 185:C KAI >SN2003ht 20030902.5 185:C KAI > ># SN 2003ht (2:59:55.17, +24:13:36.8 (J2000.0), offset = 4"E, 5"N) is ># hosted by UGC 2457, a spiral (SAcd) galaxy. The expected maximum ># for typical SN Ia is mag about 18.0. It is a type II SN in the nebular (late) phase. SN 2003hw: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 687] (Sep. 12): >SN2003hw 20030219.2 <190:C KAI >SN2003hw 20030908.5 183:C KAI >SN2003hw 20030910.5 183:C KAI > ># SN 2003hw (3:01:50.02, +35:44:36.4 (J2000.0), offset = 3"E, 2"N) is ># hosted by 2MASX J03014982+3544343, a small galaxy located at 1' ># west-northwest of UGC 2491.

It is a type Ia SN, about 2 months after maximum. SN 2003ig: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 699] (Sep. 25) >SN2003ig 20030208.2 <195C KAI >SN2003ig 20030911.5 <180C KAI >SN2003ig 20030922.5 184C KAI >SN2003ig 20030923.5 182C KAI > ># SN 2003ig (4:09:43.50, +37:00:45.8 (J2000.0), offset = 2"E, 11"N) is ># hosted by UGC 2971, a spiral galaxy near the galactic plane. The ># expected maximum for typical SN Ia is mag about 17.1. It is a type Ic SN, within a week after maximum. SN 2003gq: In [vsnet-campaign-sn 662] (Jul. 31): > The UCB team (Jul. 27) also show that it is type Ia SN near or >slightly before maximum; they quote that it resembles that of peculiar >(bright) SN Ia 1991T. They reobserve it and confirmed the peculiarity. A spectrum resembles to that of SN 2002cx, which has unusually narrow lines.
