[vsnet-alert 5282] New KAIT SN in UGC 11198

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

Dear SN watchers,

  The LOSS KAIT team has discovered a new possible SN in UGC 11198, in
the evening sky.  It seems to be a bright SN and can be observed with
small telescope. 

  On their report, a new object is located at R.A. = 18h18m58s.97,
Decl. = +16o14'53".4 (2000.0), which is about 4" west and 5" south of
the nucleus of the nearly edge-on spiral (Sab) galaxy UGC 11198.  It
lies on the edge of the bulge region, thus is very close to the
nucleus.  The host galaxy elongs NE to SW, and on the southwest end of
the disk, there are two foreground stars ; mag 16 star about 25" from
the nucleus, and mag 15 star about 35".  Take care in the
identification.  

  The reported magnitude of the new star (mag about 16.1 at Sep. 24.1,
and mag about 18.5 at Sep. 16.1) suggest that this SN would be a
bright one, and probably in the rising phase.  Typical SNeIa will be
mag 15.5 at the maximum.  Further magnitude estimates are recommended.

Sincerely Yours,
Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan
