SN 2001hf
The LOTOSS team discovered SN 2001hf on CCD images taken on
November 27 and December 4. The host galaxy of SN 2001hf is
MCG -03-23-17 = ESO 564-G015. H. Yamaoka reported that the
expected maximum of typical SN Ia in this galaxy is mag about 16,
considering the Galactic extinction
(vsnet-campaign-sn 287).
The CfA team has revealed that it was of type II SN near maximum
from the spectrum taken on Dec. 6.51. The discovery magnitude
(161:C on Nov. 27.3 or Dec. 4.5) and the reported magnitude
(R=16.6, I=16.3 on Dec. 5.31) suggest that it is somewhat bright
one among the SNe II
(vsnet-campaign-sn 290).
