Talk:SN 2003fg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Was this named after that 1995 Oasis song? -Rolypolyman 18:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Consistency
Why is the article called Champagne Supernova but the article refers to the event by the other name? Jamie|C 14:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Intro and organistion
This article needs cleaning up, particuarly it needs a non-technical intro and it needs reorganising to be logical. As an example it currently mentions that the mass of it progenitor (whatever that is) is unusual, and gives a figure for what is normal but doesn't give you any detail on this event's figures until much later.
I get the impression most of the information is in the article, somwhere, but it just needs structure and logical organisation. Thryduulf 01:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Naming Convention
The title's needlessly confusing and misleading. Astronomer's do not refer to this supernova as the "champagne supernova" -- that is a nickname, used in the title of a news-and-views article. The article should be titled SNLS-03d3bb or SN 2003fg (which conforms to the IAU designation convention used for other articles on particular supernovae).
- I agree, the section of Nature this title comes from is a summary for non-Astronomers. The name used in academic papers is either SN2003fg or SNLS-03d3bb, of which the former is probably a better choice for this article name as it conforms to the naming convention set by other supernovae (SN 1987A for example). Further, this will avoid a confusion with the song. --Falcorian (talk) 00:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
