Supernova search at intermediate z. II. Host galaxy morphology

Abstract

We discuss the host galaxy morphology of the 8 SNe discovered as a part of the International Time Programme (ITP) project ``Omega and Lambda from Supernovae, and the Physics of Supernovae Explosions'' at the European Northern Observatory (ENO). Identification of the SN host galaxy types was done exploiting both imaging and spectroscopy. A peculiar SNIa at z= 0.033 is found in a spiral galaxy, as most other SNeIa with z between 0.1 and 0.4. A complete account of these studies will be given elsewhere.
