SUPERNOVA 2006bb IN UGC 4468
K. Kinugasa, Gunma Astronomical Observatory (GAO); and H. Yamaoka,
Kyushu University, write that a low-resolution spectrogram (range
450-750 nm) of SN 2006bb (cf. IAUC 8693) was obtained with the GAO
1.5-m telescope on Mar. 31.6 UT. The spectrum shows deep and broad
absorption lines at (observed wavelengths) 622, 575, and around 500 nm
(`W'-shaped), which suggests that 2006bb is a type-Ic supernova around
maximum light. Adopting a recession velocity of 7563 km/s for UGC
4468 (from Falco et al. 1999, PASP 111, 438), the expansion velocity,
assuming that the 622-nm feature corresponds to the Si II 635.5-nm line,
is 14000 km/s.
