    Hi Mamoru,

    Here a LBL we haven't been able to formulate a search plan for Subaru this
    fall. All of us would need a clearer picture of how deep we might expect
    to reach in such a search, and then calculate the number of SN expected
    from E/S0 host galaxies which will also have photometric redshifts. Do you
    know more about the photo-z situation now? Can you estimate the restframe
    B-band luminosity in E/S0 galaxies with 1.0 < z < 1.5 which will have
    photometric redshifts in a single Subaru field? If that totals to more
    than about 10^14 Lsun in B-band, then we might have a chance of success.

    A significant and complicating factor is that the HST schedule may be
    completely full. I learned that the STScI director has forced the COSMOS
    treasury survey team to move from the fall to the spring because he wants
    to use much of the time this fall for the Ultra-Deep Field (3:32:39.0
    -27:47:29.1 J200). I give the HST UDF schedule as an appendix for
    reference. Since we are not on the schedule, it is probably impossible to
    get on the schedule now.

    What are your thought?

    Cheers,

    Greg
