SN 2002hu
MCG +06-6-12 = KUG 0215+372, a host galaxy of SN 2002hu, is a small spiral
galaxy with ultraviolet excess (vsnet-campaign-sn 498). The CfA team (with
Mt. Hopkins 1.5-m on Nov. 8.80) and the UCB team (with Keck I 10-m on Nov.
9) revealed that it was of SN Ia a few days before maximum. The recession
velocity of the host galay is about 11000 km/s, so the discovery magnitude
is roughly consistent with the expected maximum brightness (vsnet-campaign-sn
500).
