SN 2002fb
SN 2002fb was discovered by LOTOSS on KAIT images on September 6 at 17.1:mag.
NGC 759, the host galaxy of SN 2002fb, is a elliptical galaxy. The CfA
team revealed that it was of type Ia near the maximum light on Sept. 7.5
UT, which is coincident to what is expected from the morphology of the
host galaxy. They said that it is possibly peculiar SN Ia, resembling
a subluminous SN Ia 1991bg. The expected maximum of typical SN Ia is mag
about 15.9, which is brighter than the reported value, then the subluminous
nature is also supported (vsnet-campaign-sn
472).
