[vsnet-campaign-sn 131] SN 2001G in MCG +08-17-43
Dear SN watchers,
IAUC 7560 informs two nearby SNe discovery. One of them is a bright
one in the dim galaxy.
SN 2001G has been discovered by M. Armstrong on Jan. 8.051 UT at
mag 16.1, and 4 days later it has brightened to mag 15.2. The
location is: R.A. = 9h09m33s.18, Decl. = +50o16'51".3 (2000.0),
which is 2" east and 4" south of the center of dim (mag 16) galaxy
MCG +08-17-43. NED does not give the type of the galaxy and its
recession velocity, but it seems to be a nearly edge-on spiral.
Several foreground stars are there around the galaxy. The new
object is quite near to the central bright part.
SN 2001G seems to be a very young SN. Further follow-up photometry
is encouraged, as well as its spectral classification.
Sincerely Yours,
Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan
