Observed spectrum at the position of SN 2006gy on day 364 after explosion. The SN position is halfway between the two dashed lines. Continuum from the nucleus of NGC 1260 is seen clearly, as is the narrow Hα and [N II] emission from H II regions that follow the galaxy’s rotation curve. We detect no broad or intermediate‐width Hα emission from SN 2006gy.
