This supernova was discovered at the time of countryside SCP
2001 thanks to instrument MOSAICII of the CTIO. It was discovered on
April 18, then confirmed on April 20.
Its spectral
identification and the measurement of its redshift (0.511)
was obtained thanks to instrument FORS1 of the VLT (B.17 figure ).
This supernova was discovered before its maximum of luminosity and
gained from 4 points from space follow-up in R and I, as well as
three points in R and of a point out of I obtained with the instruments
of the WHT B.23 ).
Appear B.17: In blue, the
spectrum of 2001gy. This spectrum was obtained telescope VLT and
instrument FORS1 on April 21. The duration is 2400 seconds. The shift
towards the red was obtained while measuring on the lines of the galaxy
host. In black, the spectrum of the close supernova 1990N observed 7
days before the maximum. To note, the spectrum of 2001gy was smoothed
by using a median filter of 5 Å.
