Previous: Results and Discussion
Summarizing the description above, we draw the following conclusions:
- 1.
- The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact
galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass
galaxy with intense SF burst. It was discovered in the course
of Hamburg/SAO survey for emission-line galaxies.
- 2.
- According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II
supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M
16.3.
The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was
discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of
the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is
regular SN II-P.
- 3.
- At the redshift of the host galaxy z=0.0054 (Virgo-flow corrected distance
29.6 Mpc) SN 1998bv is situated at 0.5 kpc (5'') from the central
supercluster of currently forming massive stars, at the edge of the large HII
region.
