2002IAUC.8007....3C

R. Chornock, S. Jha, and A. V. Filippenko, UCB; and B. Barris, University of Hawaii, report that a spectrum (range 400-1000 nm), obtained on Nov. 1.6 UT with the Keck II 10-m telescope (+ ESI), of SN 2002hg (cf. IAUC 8004) shows it to be a type-II supernova after maximum light, with well-developed P-Cyg lines of the H Balmer series, Fe II, and Ca II. Adopting the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database recession velocity for NGC 3306 of 2889 km/s yields an expansion velocity for the supernova of 4900 km/s, measured from the trough of the H-beta profile.
