SUPERNOVA 2007cq
A. V. Filippenko, D. S. Wong, and M. Ganeshalingam, University of
California, Berkeley, report that CCD spectra (range 340-1000 nm),
obtained on June 23 UT with the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory,
show that 2007cq (IAUC 8851) is a type-Ia supernova -- specifically of
the SN-1999aa variety (Li et al. 2001, Ap.J. 546, 734; Garavini et al.
2004, A.J. 128, 387) -- possibly up to a week before maximum brightness.
The spectrum redward of 520 nm is relatively featureless, with only weak
Si II 635.5-nm and Ca II triplet absorption. Removing the recession
velocity of 7770 km/s found from the host-galaxy spectrum, the minimum of
the 635.5-nm Si II absorption is blueshifted by about 10400 km/s.
