Hi everyone,
It would appear our data are completely consistent with a supernova at
z=1.6 which was discovered at rest-frame optical maximum.
Here's an update from the first round of follow-up ACS and NICMOS
photometry :
1) The discovery z' magnitude was z'=25.1 and 12 days later z'=25.5.
2) 16 days after discovery, the new J and H magnitudes are 24.37 and
24.03.
All mags quoted here are Vega.
The remainder of the follow-up observations for this candidate will be
in J & H and will extend through 23 May (yes, that's during the next
search run).
It's unfortunate we're following it on the decline, but it's looking
good! Hooray!
Rachel
PS Sorry, no news yet to report on the grism data, except that we have it
and they pointed HST at the right part of the sky.
