SCIENCE OBSERVATIONS :
--- EFOSC ---
- 00:15 focus
- 00:25 STD GD71 : Gr11, Gr13, Gr16
- 00:35 image analysis
- 01:03 MASTERJ072940.10+141425.5 CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/300s, slit 1", airmass 1.54, seeing 0.76"
=> SN-II +1week, z ~ 0.03 (No emission line from the galaxy visible on 2D spectrum, 40pix left of SN)
- 01:16 ASASSN-15be FOLLOW-UP : Gr11/1500s, Gr16/1500s, slit 1", airmass 1.4, seeing 0.65"
- 02:26 OGLE-2015-SN-051 CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/900s, slit 1", airmass 1.3, seeing 0.65"
=> SN-Ia, +5days, z ~ 0.06 (maybe 91T-like)
- 02:49 image analysis
- 02:55 MASTERJ053953.61-275546.5 CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/180s, slit 1", airmass 1.1, seeing 0.66"
=> Blue continuum, hydrogen Balmer absorption lines, probably galactic. No good SNID fit.
- 03:04 PSNJ10544216-2104138 CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/300s, slit 1", airmass 1.35, seeing 0.72"
=> SN-Ia-pec (02cx+10d or 05cc+5d), z ~ 0.02
- 03:22 OGLE-2015-SN-043 CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/1500s, slit 1", airmass 1.5, seeing 0.65"
=> Noisy spectrum, broad emission line at 7500A, possibly SN-II post-max, z ~ 0.14
- 03:56 STD L745a : Gr11, Gr13, Gr16
- 04:19 LSQ14mo FOLLOW-UP : Optical photometry ri 12x200s, airmass 1.05, seeing 0.7"
(Both r and i sequences were aborted after 6 exposure, due to guiding star out off reach when jittering.
At 05:22, we started another OB of 6x200s to complete the sequences, same problem in r-band after 2 images.
At 06:05, we took 6 more r-band images. Finally we have two identical sequence of 6 offsets in r and i, plus 2 r-band images.
TO NEXT OBSERVERS : The T.O. suggest, in such case, to use NTT tracking instead of auto-guiding)
- 06:33 Photometric Standard Field PG1047 : UBVRigrz
- 06:40 LSQ15gv CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/1500s, slit 1", airmass 1.1, seeing 0.8-1.1"
=> SN-Ia +1week, z ~ 0.12 (possible OII line at 4100A => z=0.10)
- 07:13 STD LTT3864 : Gr11, Gr13, Gr16
- 07:26 LSQ15ey CLASSIFICATION : Gr13/1500s, slit 1", airmass 1.2, seeing 1.3-0.9"
