Observers: Morgan Fraser, Chris Ashall TAT: Cosimo Inserra, Richard Scalzo EG131 (standard) 23:50 LSQ14fig classification - Ic at z=0.03, post max. Good match to SN 2004aw at ~+5 days. 01:00 Looks like clouds are clearing, switching to SOFI 01:10 SN 2009ip J band imaging. Reduced frames, target visible (just about) 02:05 TO attempted image analysis, unsuccessful due to clouds 02:20 ASASSN-14gm JHK imaging 02:40 ASASSN-14gm BG+RG spectra 04:55 Telluric standard (solar analog for ASASSN-14gm) 04:00 ASASSN-14ha JHK imaging 04:20 TO focussed telescope 04:30 ASASSN-14ha BG+RG spectra 05:35 Closed due to clouds. OB for ASASSN-14ha spectra was completed, but probably last nod in sequence is useless. Also, no telluric standard was observed. 08:55 Open again 09:00 OGLE-2014-SN-073 classification - Type II at z=0.13! This puts it at an absolute mag of -19.4, with a slow (0.5 mag) rise over at least the last 40 days. Spectrum shows strong, broad Halpha, with a very weak absorption, and clear P-Cygni Hbeta. No obvious narrow lines, still quite blue. Interesting! 09:20 PSNJ01300340-4241487 classification - Very young Type II SN, blue continuum with weak broad Halpha, consistent with redshift of the host ESO244-31. 09:40 Attempted to acquire CSS140914-021317-071932, but sky too bright 09:45 gri skyflats |
