2002IAUC.8013....3F

A. V. Filippenko, R. Chornock, and S. Jha, University of California, Berkeley; and B. Barris, University of Hawaii, report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 310-1000 nm), obtained on Nov. 8 UT with the Keck I 10-m telescope (+ LRIS), finds that SN 2002gx (IAUC 7995) is of type Ia, about 2 months past maximum brightness. The redshift of the host galaxy is roughly 0.08. SN 2002hu is also of type Ia, a few days before maximum brightness. Once again, from a comparison of supernova spectra, the redshift of the host galaxy is about 0.03. SN 2002hv is also of type Ia, about 2 months past maximum.
