Geoffrey Chaucer with an astrolabe.


OBJECT:  SN 1992A Ia in NGC 1380 (S0).  In Leda it is
         NGC 1380 (Leda).
DISCOVERY:  1992jan11.16 by Liller (1992).
            CfA Supernova List.
MAXIMUM:  1992jan19.2 +/- 1.0 (JD 2448640.7) in B (kirshner1993).  
           See the US Navy Observatory Julian Date Converter.
           This day of the year 19.
SUPERNOVA of the YEAR:  1.

HEADER:  Header Common header information for this supernovae.
         The common header may (or may not) be updated relative to the header information here 
         (D. J. Jeffery (2007jan01)).

COMMENTS:  A broad line (BL) SN Ia, but not an extreme one.  In fact, I'd say it was pretty normal even if not
           core normal.

OBSERVATIONS: From 1) David Jeffery's old catalog: mine may all be in the CfA supernova archive. Nope. I seem to have some not in the archive. 2) CfA supernova archive. 3) Eddie Baron: probably all CfA supernova archive spectra. 4) David Branch (/home/branch/synow/92A): probably all CfA supernova archive spectra. SPECTRUM LOG: JD times for the SN 1992a spectra of kirshner1993 Bmax from kirshner1993 where the JD Bmax is JD 2448640.7 +/- 1.0 (1992jan19.2).
