    What sort of followup will Subaru be getting? Unless they have followup
    lightcurve time, afteR S02-075 I'd say that higher priority should go to
    the bright supernovae observed with TNG, since we are already getting
    some lightcurve followup of those. The supernovae that we got with TNG
    are:

      S02-058
      T02-028
      T02-037 (already have spectrum)
      T02-030
      T02-029
      S02-064 (already have spectrum)
      T02-047
