SN 2002C
The host galaxy of SN 2002C is IC 3376, a barred-spiral ((R)SBa) galaxy.
Its recession velocity (7165 km/s) indicates that the expected maximum
for a typical SN Ia is mag about 16.7 (vsnet-campaign-sn
312). The SN was discovered at 16.7mag. The UCB group and the CfA group
took spectra of this SN on Jan 17 and 19 respectively, which revealed
that it was of type II in the early phase (IAUC 7800). The reported magnitudes
was very bright for typical SN II (vsnet-campaign-sn
319).
