2002IAUC.7979....2H

M. Hamuy, Carnegie Observatories, reports that spectra (range 360-900 nm) of these new objects were obtained on Sept. 28.18-28.23 UT with the Baade 6.5-m telescope (+ LDSS-2) at Las Campanas. SN 2002fu is a type-II supernova with a broad H-alpha line exhibiting a P-Cyg profile; the minimum of the absorption component yields an expansion velocity of 14000 km/s. A narrow H-alpha emission from the host galaxy yields a redshift of 0.091. SN 2002fs bears resemblance to the type-Ia SN 1994D, five days past maximum; a narrow H-alpha emission from the host galaxy yields a redshift of 0.038. SN 2002ft also bears resemblance to SN 1994D, two days past maximum; by comparison to SN 1994D, a redshift of approximately 0.075 is derived.
