SN 2002J
The KAIT team discovered a somewhat nearby SN 2002J which can reach mag
15.3. IAUC 7800 informed that the discovery was made on Jan. 21.4, when
the new object was mag about 16.8. It was confirmed on the next day when
it became brighter by 0.2 mag. Its position is about 24" west and 6"
north of the nucleus of a open spiral galaxy NGC 3464. The recession
velocity of this galaxy is 3729 km/s, which indicate that the maximum
of the typical SN Ia in this galaxy would be mag about 15.3 (vsnet-campaign-sn
318). IAUC 7808 informed that this SN turned out to have been of
type Ic near maximum (vsnet-campaign-sn
325).
