2003IAUC.8214....2F

A. V. Filippenko and R. J. Foley, University of California, Berkeley, report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 310-1000 nm), obtained on Oct. 2 UT with the Shane 3-m telescope at Lick Observatory, reveal that SN 2003im and SN 2003in are of type Ia, roughly 1 month and 2-3 weeks past maximum brightness, respectively. SN 2003ip is a supernova of type II, within a few weeks after the explosion; hydrogen Balmer lines with P-Cyg profiles are superposed on a relatively blue continuum, but the emission component of H_alpha substantially dominates over the absorption component. (The offset above for SN 2003in is a correction by Fillippenko to that given on CBET 45.)
