Supernova 2008hv in NGC 2765
Abstract
P. Challis, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, reports that a spectrum (range 350-740 nm) of 2008hv (cf. CBET 1601), obtained on Dec. 3 UT by J. Hora with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST), shows it to be a type-Ia supernova. The spectrum has spectral features consistent with a normal type-Ia event in the age range of 14 to 9 days before maximum light.
