Hi Rob,
I am sorry about the delay in this reply. I've just come down from a shift on Paranal.
I reviewed the spectra that were taken at ESO telescopes with your comments about
spectral classification on page 4 in mind.
In regards to the classification
SN z Ia SiII (6300) Instrument + Telescope
========================================================
1998as 0.355 Yes Yes EFOSCII + ESO3.6
1998ax 0.497 Yes Yes EFOSCII + ESO3.6
1998ba 0.43 Yes No EFOSCII + ESO3.6
2000fr 0.543 Yes No FORS1 + Antu (VLT-UT1)
========================================================
1998ba: The redshift is based on the SNe. There were no lines from the host, but there
was a nearby galaxy with z=0.393. It is interesting to note that this SN is not reddened even
though we are looking through the halo of a galaxy that is along the line of sight. The SiII (6300)
dip is not seen, although it is in a noisy part of the spectrum.
2000fr. The SiII dip lies off the edge of the VLT spectrum.
I have two additional comments about the paper.
You give a redshift of 0.0135 as the boundry defining the Hublle flow. This is a bit
precise. Perhaps z > 0.01 is sufficient.
In table 30, NTTA should be NTT. You may want to specify the instrument as wee, which was SUSI2
in this case.
Cheers, Chris.
