Supernovae Classified at NOT







SN 2005dz: observed on 2005-09-12. A comparison with SN 1999em can be seen here. This is an young Type II supernova. A light curve can be seen here.

SN 2004aq: observed on 2004-03-09. The spectrum can be seen here. A comparison with SN 1999em shows that SN 2004aq is a Type II SN  2-3 weeks past maximum.

SN 2004fe: observed on 2004-11-02 and it appears to be a type Ic SN ~5 days before maxium. A comparison with 1994I can be seen here and the CSP light curve here.

SN 2004cc: observed on 2004-06-14. This is again an young type Ic SN as can be seen here. The spectrum is  heavily reddened. I can't find a spectrum of other SN that matches the region 5500-6500A well.

SN 2005ce: observed on 2005-05-28. It is likely a transition object of type Ib/c similar to SN 1999ex. The spectrum can be seen here.

SN 2006fp: observed on 2006-09-18. I thought I may be a reddened type IIn supernova, but it was later classified as outburst of a Luminous Blue Variable. The spectrum can be seen here.

SN 2006gi: observed on 2006-09-19. It is a type Ib supernova at or slightly after maximum. A comparison with SNe 1990I and 1984L can be seen here.

SN 2006ke: observed on 2006-10-20. This is a reddened underluminous SN Ia around maximum. The spectrum is most similar to SN 2003Y. I also thought it might be a SN Ic as well, but the CfA spectrum convinsigly showed that this was indeed a reddened 91bg-like. Our spectrum can be seen here.

SN 2006my: observed on 2006-11-09. The spectrum can be seen here. A comparison with SN 1999em shows that SN 2006my is a Type II SN  1-2 month past maximum.

SN 2007N: observed on 2007-01-22. It is similar to SN 1991bg near maximum light. A comparison can be seen here.

SN 2007ca: observed on 2007-04-27. It is similar to SN2003du at about a week before maximum light, but it was moderately reddened in its host galaxy. A comparison can be seen here.

SN 2007ux:observed on 2008-01-03. We took another look at this SN Ia because the reported magnitudes would imply that it was significantly overluminous. We found that it was not overluminous. It is similar to SN 2004eo and SN 1986G at about maximum light. A comparison can be seen here.

SN 2008Q: observed on 2008-01-29. Veyr young Type Ia SN, likely around 10 days beforwe maxumum. A comparison with SN 2003du at -11 days can be seen here. WE FOWLLOW THIS SN.

SN 2008R: observed on 2008-01-29. Type Ia SN around maxumum. Similar to SN 2004eo. A comparison can be seen here.

SN 2008S:observed on 2008-02-04. Likely a reddened Type IIn SN around maxumum. Given the uncertrainty of thge reddening, it may also be superoutburst of a LBV. Our spectrum, de-reddened by the Galactic reddening E(B-V)=0.342, can be seen here.
