SUPERNOVA 2001XX in NGC 5442

      M. Schwartz, Cottage Grove, OR, and W. D. Li, University
of California at Berkeley, on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514),
report the discovery of an apparent supernova on an unfiltered
image taken with the 0.5-m Tenagra III automated telescope on
Feb 15.5 UT (mag about 17.7).  The object was confirmed on an
earlier image taken by the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope
(KAIT) on Feb 3.5 UT (mag about 17.3). SN 2001XX is located at
R.A. = 14h4m42s.94, Decl. = -9o42'29".7 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 4.7" west and 18.7" north of the nucleus of NGC 5442.  A KAIT
image of the same field taken on 2000 Jul 2.3 UT showed nothing
at this position (limiting magnitude about 19.0).
