  • 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma 73019

Description

Photoelectric scans of the spectrum of SN 1972e are presented. The observations were obtained at the McDonald Observatory between 15 and 50 days after maximum light with a spectral resolution ranging from 4 to 20 Angstroms. Line identifications (Ca II, Fe II, Si II, and possibly He I) are discussed briefly. It is suggested that the emission feature identified by Kirshner and Oke as Hα may have been produced by Fe II
