SN 2002do
This supernova was discovered by the KAIT team on CCD images taken on
June 17.4 and 18.3 at about 16.3mag. The host galaxy of SN 2002do is
MCG +07-41-1, an elliptical galaxy embedded in the Milky Way (b = 6.1
deg). The expected maximum for typical SN Ia (the morphology of the host
galaxy suggests this classification) is mag about 16.4 (vsnet-campaign-sn
442). According to IAUC 7927, it was indeed of type Ia, near maximum
on June 19.43 UT. The Si II absorption feature around 580 nm was strongly
seen, which may indicate that it is somewhat subluminous (vsnet-campaign-sn
446).
