SN 2002ha
The host galaxy of SN 2002ha is NGC 6962, a spiral galaxy making a pair
with NGC 6964 and making a group with several other galaxies. The expected
maximum for typical SN Ia is mag about 15.5 (vsnet-campaign-sn
484, 485).
According to IAUC 7999, a spectrum taken on Oct 25.03 showed that it was
type Ia SN about 3 days before maximum with interstellar extinction in the
host galaxy. Note that this SN was not detected 6 days before spectroscopy,
which is unusual for typical SN Ia (vsnet-campaign-sn
486). The SN 2002ha discovery image can be seen at: http://astron.berkeley.edu/~bait/2002/sn2002ha.gif
