SUPERNOVAE 2009hq AND 2009mh
D. Milisavljevic, J. Parrent, and R. Fesen, Dartmouth College, report
that a low-dispersion spectrum (range 410-780 nm) of 2009hq (cf. CBET 1890),
taken on Dec. 15.5 UT with the 2.4-m Hiltner telescope (+ CCDS) at MDM
Observatory, supports a type-II supernova classification. Comparison with a
library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" tool (SNID;
Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ., 666, 1024) provides a good match with the
type-IIP event 2004et at 147 days post-maximum light. Spectra of 2009mh
(cf. CBET 2074) show it to be a type-Ia supernova at 3-4 weeks after maximum
light; SNID comparison templates best match the type-Ia event 1999aa at 26
days post maximum.
