The RC3 gives a rather large recession velocity, # besides the other observation indicates a smaller value. The UCB # team took a spectrum of SN 2003ip on Oct. 2 UT and showed that it # is type II SN within a few weeks after the explosion, which supports # the latter value of the recession velocity.
