Information for Chris Lidman, 1998 April 23 BTC Run:

March 1998 Finding Charts

Overview Finding Charts: These two postscript files each show a 2 degree by 2 degree region of the Palomar Sky Survey, with the coordinates of our supernovae plotted thereon. Followup BTC fields for CTIO are indicated.

BTC_11h.fct.ps.gz (11h field)
BTC_14h.fct.ps.gz (14h field)

BTC Finding Charts: Individual finding charts for each of the BTC fields indicated on the overview finding charts.

The following table has links to the various finding charts. The "Position Angle" column has desired position angles (east of north) for putative spectroscopy. All Postscript files have been compressed with gzip.

Papers and Other Information

This is what a SN Ia spectrum (SN 92A) should look like (in observed wavelengths) from five days before max to 28 days after max (NB: rest frame days before and after max!) at: z=0.30 z=0.35 z=0.40 z=0.45 z=0.50 z=0.55 z=0.60 z=0.65 z=0.70 z=0.75 z=0.80 z=0.85 z=0.90 z=0.95 z=1.00 Note that the dotted lines show where the narrow host-galaxy spectral features may be superposed on the broad supernova features.
