Supernovae SN2008P and SN2008bx were photographed 24./25.4.2008 at Taurus Hill Observatory by the research team members Hentunen and Nissinen. SN2008bx was discovered 22.4.2008 by Tim Pucket. The supernova is quite bright, about 15.5 magnitudes. The type of the supernova is at the moment still unknown. SN2008bx SN2008P was discovered 23.1.2008 by Alessandro Dimai. This supernova is a […]
After quite long cloudy period we succeeded to image SN2008bo at THO 12/13.4.2008 night. We measured the magnitude of SN2008bo 15.9R. We also imaged SN2008bn, which we measured as magnitude 16.5R. Observers: Markku Nissinen and Olli Rantula.
SN2008bo colour picture was photographed by using the photometric filters. The picture below is combined in MaximDL by the 5×300 sec. L, 5×300 sec. R, 3×300 sec. V and 4×300 sec. B exposured individual pictures. The measured brightness of the supernova was mag. 16.4 R. The comparison star that was used was USNO A2.0 catalog star 1575-03944894. The […]
Taurus Hill Observatory continued the supernova search program with great success. Research team members Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen photograhed galaxy NGC 6643 (about 78 bly from the Earth) 31.3/1.4.2008 at Taurus Hill Observatory. First look to the picture revealed the “new star” in the galaxy. The picture was taken with the clear filter and 90 sec. exposure time. […]
Three recently discovered supernovae has been photographed 28.3.2008 at Taurus Hill Observatory by Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen. The weather was quite good. Temperature was about -5 celsius degrees. SN2008bi discoveder 22.3.2008 (CHASE). This is a type Ia supernova. Brigthness is about 15,9 magnitudes. SN2008bj discovered 12.3.2008 (ROTSE). This supernova is type II. The brightness oh the supernova was about 17,1 magnitudes. SN2008bl […]
Research team photographed three recently discovered supernovae 24./25.3.2008 at Taurus Hill Observatory. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen. Supernova SN2008bf discovered 18.2.2008 (LOSS). it had a brigthness of 16.8 mag. The type of the supernova is Ia. Supernova SN2008bg discovered 5.3.2008 (ROTSE). it is also type Ia supernova and it had brightness of 17.9 mag. Supernova SN2008bh discovered 23.3.2008 (LOSS, CHASE). The type […]
The afterglow of the gammaray burst GRB080319B was observed 23 – 01 (finnish time) 19./20.03.2008 at Taurus Hill Observatory by the research team members Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen. The observation was made 15 hours after the discovery of the GRB080319B. The measurements were made with the clear filter and with the photometric R -filter. The place of the GRB080319B […]
Two supernovae was observed at Taurus Hill Observatory 7./8.3.2008. Observer: Veli-Pekka Hentunen. Supernova SN2008at is a Ia type of supernova. It was discovered by the Jack Newton anf Tim Puckett 2.3.2008. The maximum magnitude of the supernova was about 16.5 mag. Supernova SN2008ax is a II type ofsupernova. At the moment of the photographing it had a brightness of 15.6 magnitudes. This supernova […]
Supernova SN2008an is a Ic type of supernova that discovered from the galaxy UGC10936. At the maximum it had the brightness of 17.3 magnitudes. Taurus Hill Observatory´s research team member Veli-Pekka Hentunen photographed this supernova 2./3.3.2008
Supernova SN2008ak was discovered from the galaxy UGC2519 12.2.2008 and it is a type II supernova. At the maximum it had the brightness of 17.0 magnitudes, but at the moment of this photograph it was much dimmer. The object photographed at Taurus Hill observatory 2./3.3.2008. Observer: Veli-Pekka Hentunen
