Sheila Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just seen this but cannot find anymore on it Classification of Supernova in M82 as a young, reddened Type Ia Supernova At UT 2014 Jan 22.305, we obtained a spectrum of PSN_J09554214+6940260 (discoverer: S. J. Fossey) with the Dual Imaging Spectrograph on the ARC 3.5m telescope. We classify this as a Type Ia supernova with a Si II velocity of 20000 km/s. The best superfit match is SN2002bo at -14d. The supernova has a red continuum and deep Na D absorption.>> We further note that at UT 2014 Jan 21.158, the supernova is visible in Palomar 48-inch images but it is too saturated to measure a magnitude. iPTF upper limits (R=20.4 mag) are prior to Jan 13. PSN J09554214+6940260: bright (11.7 mag) supernova in M82> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
