April 26, 2013 ============== Support for Apogee's preflash option is being added to help remove the latent bulk image artifact that is present in images on Kodak sensors when they have been exposed to a bright infrared source. The effectiveness of this hardware feature is being assessed. ... The support will appear in test variants after version 4.1 and should not be used for critical photometry until we have the camera performance in this mode fully analyzed. ...

... 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. ... 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. ...
