Dear SN watchers,
IAUC 8005 informed the discovery of (apparent) supernova in NGC
6946, which had produced at least 6 SNe (1917A, 1939C, 1948B, 1968D,
1969P, and 1980K) in the last century. The brighetst one of these six
was SN IIL 1980K, whose maximum was B=11.6.
It was discovered by the KAIT team on Oct. 31.1 UT (mag about 16.5)
and confirmed on Nov. 2.1 (mag about 16.3). The position of the new
object is R.A. = 20h34m44s.29, Decl. = +60o07'19".0 (J2000.0), which
is about 61" west and 114" south of the nucleus of a face-on open
spiral (SAB(rs)cd) galaxy NGC 6946. It was below mag about 19.0 on
Oct. 26.1. It should defenetely be in the rising phase. Further
observation is strongly encouraged.
Sincerely Yours,
Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan
