Dear All,
I have revised the VLT spectroscopy paper and I have left a copy of
it at
http://www.sc.eso.org/~clidman
I've included most of the changes that had been noted in earlier
correspondence.
The one exception is the use of additional data and, in particular,
the photometric data, to help in the classification. This has not
been included for two reasons.
1) I have not had any feedback concerning a request for information
on the photometric results for these supernovae.
2) I do not wish this to be in the paper as originally proposed.
Having said that, I appreciate that photometric information
can be used to help classify candidates, especially
those candidates for which spectroscopic classification is
difficult. Namely, very distant ones, which are faint (the Fall 2002
Subaru search), and candidates that are near bright hosts (the
CFHT 2002 rolling search). I understand that the Subaru
photometry are being analysed right now. Perhaps the paper can benefit
from this. Presumably, the CFHT data have also been analysed and
perhaps the paper can benefit from this as well. Hence, I could
insert a paragraph which discusses how photometric information
can be used to help in the classification of the candidates in these
two cases.
However, we should avoid using photometric data prematurely, especially
data that is at a preliminary stage of the analysis.
I will be away during the first part of next week, so I cannot attend
the SCP exec meeting. I will back Wednesday evening, so if the Exec
wishes to schedule a telecoferenece to discuss the VLT paper on either
Thursday or Friday of next week, this would be OK.
Cheers, Chris.
