[vsnet-alert 5115] SNe 2000cv and 2000cw

[Hitoshi YAMAOKA <yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp>]

Dear SN watchers,

  Recent IAUC 7456 informed two SN discoveries each of which is
apparently bright.  The type has not been clearified, but they seem to
be intrinsically bright SNe like as type Ia.

  M. Schwartz has discovered SN 2000cv in a small elliptical galaxy
PGC 39222 on July 11.2.  The position is reported as: R.A. =
12h15m42s.21, Decl. = +61o53'24".0 (2000.0, measured by W.D. Li),
which is about 10" east and 1" north of the center of the host galaxy.
The reported magnitudes are 161C at the discovery and 160C on July
12.2 by the KAIT.  The recession velocity of the host (6025 km/s)
suggest that the typical SNeIa would be around mag 16 at their
maximum. 

  Besides, the KAIT team has discovered another SN 2000cw in Sbc
galaxy MCG +5-56-007 on Jul. 14.5.  The position is reported as R.A. =
23h47m25s.10, Decl. = +28o23'15".8 (2000.0), which is about 8" east
and 21" south of the nucleus of MCG +5-56-007.  It was 174:C at the
discovery and 172:C on the next day.  The recession velocity of the
host is about 9000 km/s, from which the maximum of the typical SN Ia
is expected as around mag 17.

Sincerely Yours,
