SN 2002D
The host galaxy is NGC 594, and its recession velocity predicts the maximum
for a typical SN Ia is 16.0mag. The object was discovered at 16.8mag,
possibly in the rising phase (vsnet-campaign-sn
315). It turned out to be of type II as shown in a spectrum taken
by the CfA team. The discovery magnitude is somewhat brighter than the
typical SN II (vsnet-campaign-sn
320).
