Table 1: The photometry of SN 2006aj from the Very Large Telescope (VLT), the Liverpool Telescope (LT) and the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), including the acquisition images for the VLT spectroscopy (Pian et al. 2006). The date is the UT exposure mid-time. Column t-t0 refers to the time in days after the burst trigger at t0 = 3:34:30 UT of Feb. 18, 2006 (Cusumano et al. 2006). The third column gives measured magnitudes which are corrected neither for extinction nor flux from the host galaxy. The fourth column gives the pure supernova magnitudes after correcting for Galactic extinction, host-galaxy flux and host-galaxy extinction. Exposure times are in seconds.
