Abstract

Puckett and A. Langoussis also report the discovery of a supernova (mag 17.5) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken (as above) on Jan. 6.29 UT (confirmed on Jan. 7.16). SN 2003D is located at R.A. = 9h38m53s.52, Decl. = -4 51'05".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 1".6 east and 10".2 south of the center of MCG -01-25-9. The new object was not present on images taken by Puckett on 2002 Feb. 14 (limiting mag about 20.5) or on Palomar Sky Survey plates taken in 1983 and 1985 (limiting mag about 20.0-21.0).
