Dear SN watchers,
According to IAUC 7453, the Lick KAIT team has discovered a new
bright supernova.
The position is reported as R.A. = 19h24m20s.95, Decl. =
-25o59'04".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 12" east and 2" north of
the nucleus of the nearly face-on Sa-b galaxy ESO 525-4. There are
some confusing foreground star, so the identification should be done
carefully.
It is now at about mag 16, and seems to be brightening. The
recession velocity of the host galaxy have not been cataloged, so the
maximum expectation cannot be done. Hopefully it will become more
bright!
Sincerely Yours,
Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan
