SN 2000cx Ia in NGC 524


Geoffrey Chaucer with an astrolabe.

OBJECT:  SN 2000cx Ia in  (SO-a galaxy) which in Leda is 
         NGC 524:  Leda.
DISCOVERY:  2000jul17.5 UT by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS). 
MAXIMUM:  2000jul26.7 +/- 0.1 UT (JD 2451752.2 +/- 0.1) in B (li2001; jha2006).
          See the US Navy Observatory Julian Date Converter.
          This day of the year 208 and remember 2000 was a leap as a century
          year divisible by 4.
SUPERNOVA of the YEAR:  M = 102.

SPECTRUM LOG:

     JD times for the SN 2000cx spectra of li2001

     Bmax 2000jul26.7 +/- 0.1 UT (JD 2451752.2 +/- 0.1) (li2001; jha2006).

     I believe all li2001 spectra are rest frame.

     li2001 has not provided UTs or JDs.
     But all the observations were from Lick and so must have UT .3 +/- .3.
     So we can estimate the JDs.

       There are 27 spectra all from li2001, except li2001 report only 26 spectra:  one may be a redundant spectrum.  
       They give Bmax as JD 2451752.2 +/- 0.1 which agrees with jha2006.

CORRECTIONS:  heliocentric velocity 2423 +/- 37 km/s [2007jun29] from

              Galactic foreground 0.36/4=.09 reddening from
              NGC 524:  Leda.
              But the reddening is derived from
              Schlegel et al. (1998)

OBSERVATIONS:  From 
               1) David Jeffery:  no old catalog
               2) David Branch:  some in /home/branch/synow/sn2002cx, but whose or when is unclear.
               3) Eddie Baron:  some, but they seem to be just li2001 spectra.
               4) SUSPECT:  27 li2001 spectra and that's all.


DATE: 2000 with 2000jul26.7 +/- 0.1 UT (JD 2451752.2 +/- 0.1) for Bmax gives: day = - 2451752.2 = At present, precise UT and JD dates have to be estimated as they are not given.
