SN 2007uy was a
Type Ib supernova from its spectrum a week before reaching maximum, and appeared the most similar to SN 2004gq.[1]
Emissions from SN 2007uy were detected from the
relativistic jet of the type that would be associated with a gamma-ray burst.[6]
While interesting in its own right, SN 2007uy was overshadowed by
Swift, something unprecedented in astronomy.[7] This second supernova occurred within ten days of the first.[6]
