       SN 2001XXX in UGC 2836

       S. Beckmann and W. D. Li, University of California
at Berkeley,  on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report
the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on an unfiltered
image taken on Jan 15.2 UT (mag about 17.2), which is confirmed 
on earlier images taken on 2000 Dec 23.2 UT (mag about 18.4) 
and Dec 28.3 UT (mag about 17.7). The new object is located
at R.A.  = 3h43m57s.28, Decl. = +39 17'39".4 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 4".1 east and 2".5 south of the nucleus of UGC 2836.
A KAIT image of the same field on 2000 Dec 3.3 UT showed nothing
at the position of the SN (limiting magnitude about 19.5).
