Let me amend this. Looking at the TNG data, it looks like T02-030 may
be *hugely* on the way up (to the point that it could be magnitude 21 by
now). This may be a relatively nearby SN that we caught extremely
early, unless there is some goof in my insta-lightcurve software and the
TNG data. I would suggest getting a relatively short (1/2 hour?)
spectrum on this to see if there is anything there-- assuming the data
can be reduced quickly.
T02-047 also looks to be still rising as of the may 13 TNG data. It's
not as dramatic as T02-028, but it seems we caught this one before max.
T02-028, according to the TNG data, looks to have been fairly near max
at the search. The TNG data of a few days later is lower, but only by
1-2 sigma.
All three of these look like very solid medium-z (0.3-0.5) candidates at
this point.
