Mario Hamuy, Carnegie Observatories, reports that a spectrum (range 360-900 nm)
of F2002-064, obtained on Sept. 28.18 UT with the Las Campanas Baade 6.5-m
telescope (+ LDSS-2), shows it to be a type-II supernova with
a broad H alpha line exhibiting a P-Cyg profile. The minimum of the
absorption component yields an expansion velocity of 14000 km/s.
An H-alpha narrow emission from the host galaxy yields a redshift of 0.091.


I obtained a spectrum of F2002-59 with the same instrument on Sep. 28.20
which bears resemblance to the type-Ia SN 1994D 5 days past maximum.
An H-alpha narrow emission from the host galaxy yields a redshift of 0.038.

I obtained a spectrum of F2002-62 with the same instrument on Sep. 28.23
which bears resemblance to the type-Ia SN 1994D 2 days past maximum.
By comparison to SN 1994D an approximate redshift of 0.075 is derived.
