SN1999cl in M88 AL Comを見ていると超新星がみつかるかも?との噂通り、M88に超新星らしき 天体が発見され、1日で16等から15等に増光中とのこと。今回はAL Comのチ ャートや比較星がそのまま使えますので初期から光度体系の統一が行えます。 Subject: [vsnet-alert 3065] Sequence for M88 supernova Although there is no sequence specifically for NGC 4501 = Messier 88, the Misselt BVR data for the dwarf nova AL Comae in the adjacent field may be suitable at least for CCD observers. N.B. that I have adjusted Misselt's V magnitudes upward (brighter) by 0.04 to compensate roughly for the typical zero-point offset in his data. In addition, there are several brighter stars close to M88 measured by Richard Stanton. The data are not published, and I have used the Thompson & Bryan chart for the galaxy (which shows AL Com also) to get positions and the rough V magnitudes for his stars. Finally it is worth noting that the offset from V for the GSC magnitudes is quite small, and these might be used for some additional sequence stars. \Brian Name RA (2000) Dec s GSC V B-V V-R R [S66c] 1200+15 8 12 32 07.5 +14 42 52 G 0880-0941 11.24 0.33 (0.21) 11.03 AL Com 1 12 32 16.0 +14 19 21 A 16.77 0.77 0.46 16.31 AL Com 2 12 32 26.6 +14 21 17 A 16.93 0.47 0.32 16.61 AL Com 3 12 32 27.9 +14 21 51 A 16.69 0.70 0.36 16.33 AL Com 4 12 32 29.7 +14 20 16 A 17.81 0.64 0.36 17.45 Note: V-R in parens derived from B-V Stanton V sequence NGC 4501 119 12 32 03.9 +14 20 08 A 0880-0226 11.9 NGC 4501 120 12 31 57.1 +14 28 52 A 0880-0023 12.0 NGC 4501 135 12 32 10.0 +14 20 15 A 0880-0182 13.5 NGC 4501 137 12 32 01.2 +14 31 23 A 0880-0266 13.7 NGC 4501 139 12 32 09.5 +14 15 54 A 0880-0093 13.9 NGC 4501 147 12 32 08.8 +14 28 44 A 0880-0188 14.7 Subject: [vsnet-alert 3066] SN 1999cl in NGC 4501 Dear SN watchers, Bright SN has been discovered by LOSS KAIT team. See IAUC 7185 for details. The host galaxy NGC 4501 is fairly nearby one (v_r is about 2500 km/s), so the expected SNeIa maximum would be order of 14 mag. Followup is urged.
