Weaver 1,5 ABSTRACT We report the independent discovery and follow-up observations of supernova 2005gj by the Nearby Supernova Factory. This is the second confirmed case of a “hybrid” Type Ia/IIn supernova, which like the prototype SN 2002ic, we inter- pret as the explosion of a white dwarf interacting with a circumstellar medium. Our early-phase photometry of SN 2005gj shows that the strength of the inter- action between the supernova ejecta and circumstellar material is much stronger than for SN 2002ic. Our first spectrum shows a hot continuum with broad and narrow Hα emission. Later spectra, spanning over 4 months from outburst, show clear Type Ia features combined with broad and narrow Hγ, Hβ, Hα and He I λλ5876,7065 in emission. At higher resolution, P Cygni profiles are appar- ent. Surprisingly, we also observe an inverted P Cygni profile for [O III ] λ5007.
