SN 2002hz
SN 2002hz was discovered by the LOTOSS team on images taken on November
16, at about 17.8mag. UGC 12044, a host galaxy of SN 2002hz, is an edge-on
spiral galaxy with low galactic latitude (b=-16o). The expected maximum
for typical SN Ia (without a reddening in the host galaxy) is mag about
16.3, but judged from the reports (0.6 mag rise in 4 days), it is possibly
a reddened (or subluminous) SN Ia or a core-collapse event (vsnet-campaign-sn
507).
