Supernovae Fans:
Whooops! Within the recently released update of the +50 to the Pole SNe
Search update lies an error. SN 1998di was NOT a supernova. It is instead a
dwarf CV (cataclysmic variable)....which I am led to believe are more rare
than a SN event. For references see: Michael Scwartz's message to the ISN
(8/4/98), IAUC 6982, VSNET Alert #'s 2000, 2001, 2004 and 2006. Plus VSNET
Chat #'s 1117 and 1124.
Cheers,
Steve
