Abstract:
We present spectroscopic VLT/UVES observations of two emerging
supernovae, the Type Ia SM 2001el and the Type II SN 2003hn, in the
spiral galaxy NGC 1448. Our high resolution and high signal-to-noise
spectra display atomic lines of Ca II, Na I, Ti II and K I in the host
galaxy. In the line of sight towards SN 2001el, we also detect over a
dozen diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) within NGC 1448.
Description:
table3 lists the VPFIT parameters (velocity v, Doppler parameter b and
column density N) for the components of the observed atomic
interstellar lines of Ca II, Ti II, Na I and K I towards SN 2001el and
SN 2003hn. In the last column we give the total column density, summed
over the individual components.

Note on fig2.ps: The black dashed lines refer to the fits by VPFIT,
and the grey dots to the observed UVES spectra. For velocities, column
densities and Doppler parameters of the fits we refer to table3.dat.
The numbered symbols (+) at the top indicate the positions of the
fitted velocity components. The lower spectrum has been displaced
vertically for clarity. A high velocity cloud at ∼160km/s can also be
seen towards SN 2001el (component 4).
Note on fig4.ps: The λ6284 DIB towards SN 2001el is redshifted to
6308Å and is clearly separated from the narrow telluric O2
complex at ∼6278Å (bottom). Note also the λ6270 DIB at
6294Å. For illustrative purposes we show both the telluric
uncorrected and corrected λ,6284 DIB for SN 2001el (bottom and
middle). These spectra have been displaced vertically for clarity.
For SN 2003hn only the telluric corrected spectrum is shown (top).
In this sight line we detect the λ6284 DIB at λ6312.

Note (1): The interstellar atomic absorption lines detected are from the
Milky Way (MW) or from NGC 1448.
Note (2): We use the doublet lines of CaII, NaI and KI to constrain the
least square fitting routine employed by VPFIT
Note (3): The Doppler parameter, b, has for each atomic line been set
equal for all components.
