Hi all,

Here is the report of a new SN.

Cheers,
Weidong


              SN 2001XXX in NGC 6130

   A. B. Aazami 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 unfiltered images taken on Mar 11.5 (mag about 17.5)
and 12.5 UT (mag about 17.4). SN 2001XXX is located at R.A. = 16h19m34s.83,
Decl. = +57o37'5".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 10".9 east and 11".4 north
of the nucleus of NGC 6130. A KAIT image of the same field taken on 2000
Aug 15.3 UT showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
