SUPERNOVA 2007gk IN MCG +11-20-27
E. Y. Hsiao, M. Graham, and D. Balam, Department of Physics and
Astronomy, University of Victoria; and D. A. Howell, University of Toronto,
report that a spectrum (range 364-675 nm, resolution 1.4 nm) of 2007gk (cf.
CBET 1023), obtained on Aug. 7.29 UT with the 1.82-m Plaskett Telescope of
the National Research Council of Canada, shows it to be a type-Ia supernova
before maximum light. Adopting the host-galaxy redshift of 0.0266 from
Falco et al. (1999, PASP 111, 438), the Si II 635.5-nm expansion velocity
is 16000 km/s. According to the 'superfit' matching program of Howell et
al. (2005, Ap.J. 634, 1190), the best fit is to the spectrum of SN 2002bo
at 11-14 days before maximum light.
