Scientific paper

We propose to measure the spectral energy distribution of the unusual and exciting supernova 2005gj. This event is only the second clear case of a thermonuclear explosion going off in a dense circumstellar environment (SN 2002ic was the first) and is a rare opportunity to characterize properties of the companion star thought to be donating mass to the white dwarf primary. SN 2005gj was discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Supernova Search and has a more extensive optical/near-IR light curve and spectral coverage than the previous event. Here we request IRAC observations to extend the SED into far-IR to search for early evidence of dust emission. The next visibility window opens before Cycle-3 begins so we are requesting Director Discretionary Time for this object.
