2003IAUC.8241....2H

D. A. Howell, University of Toronto, reports that preliminary reduction of a spectrogram (range 400-1000 nm), taken with the Clay 6.5-m Magellan Telescope (+ LDSS2) on Nov. 17.3 UT, shows that SN 2003jh (cf. IAUC 8236) is a type-IIn supernova. H_alpha has a narrow peak atop a broader base (FWHM 5000 km/s); the redshift measured from the narrow peak is z = 0.030, consistent with the redshift of the host, MCG -02-11-30 (z = 0.0296, as listed by NED). A spectrogram of SN 2003jg (cf. IAUC 8235) shows it to be a type- Ib/c supernova, several weeks past maximum light.
