... 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. ...

. You can edit any previous command from the history list to create a new command. Suppose that command number 23 in the history list is: 23 lpr part[1-4].ps . Do a preview of the command if you are not sure that it is the right one. To change [1-4] to [5-8] use the command: !23:s/[1-4]/[5-8]/ . This will now run the command: lpr part[5-8].ps . Another way to edit commands in the history list is to move up and down the list until you find the command you are looking for and then edit its command line .
