SN 2001fa
The KAIT team discovered a bright SN 2001fa on October 18.4 when the
object was 16.9. The position of the new object is about 4" west and
18" north of the nucleus of the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 673. Spectral
confirmation was done on Oct. 20.0 at Lick Observatory, which shows that
it is of type-IIn. This SN seems to belong to the luminous class of
type-IIn SN. It can reach typical SN Ia, which is expected to be mag
15.8 at maximum for this galaxy
(vsnet-campaign-sn 265).
