cds-question@unistra.frsupernovaeinfrared-photometryvisible-astronomybroad-band-photometryWe present new photometric observations of supernova (SN) 2003ie starting one month before discovery, obtained serendipitously while observing its host galaxy. With only a weak upper limit derived on the mass of its progenitor (<25M_{sun}_) from previous pre-explosion studies, this event could be a potential exception to the "red supergiant (RSG) problem" (the lack of high-mass RSGs exploding as Type IIP SNe). However, this is true only if SN2003ie was a Type IIP event, something which has never been determined. Using recently derived core-collapse SN light-curve templates, as well as by comparison to other known SNe, we find that SN2003ie was indeed a likely Type IIP event. However, with a plateau magnitude of ~-15.5mag, it is found to be a member of the faint Type IIP class. Previous members of this class have been shown to arise from relatively low-mass progenitors (<12M_{sun}_). It therefore seems unlikely that this SN had a massive RSG progenitor. The use of core-collapse SN light-curve templates is shown to be helpful in classifying SNe with sparse coverage. These templates are likely to become more robust as large homogeneous samples of core-collapse events are collected.2013AJ....145...99Ahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/145/99CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toB/sn : Asiago Supernova Catalogue (Barbon et al., 1999-)II/256 : Sternberg Supernova Catalogue, 2004 version (Tsvetkov+, 2004)J/A+A/537/A141 : UBVRI light curves of SN 2009E (Pastorello+, 2012)J/A+A/538/A120 : A unified supernova catalogue (Lennarz+, 2012)J/MNRAS/412/1419 : Nearby supernova rates (Leaman+, 2011)J/ApJ/717/342 : Type Ibc SNe in disturbed galaxies (Habergham+, 2010)J/MNRAS/394/2266 : SN 2005cs one-year photometry (Pastorello+, 2009)J/PASP/117/773 : SN host galaxies classification.
