Hmmm, a bit of detective work from Greg and I found that the actual science paper that refers to this research notes that the Supernova was infact SN2012cg discovered by LOSS ([Discoverer=Kandrashoff, Cenko et al. (LOSS) ). The original Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics press release had a typo noting SN2012gc. We have informed Harvard and as you will now see in Gary's link above this has now been corrected.
No cigar for Greg/BOSS on this one, but we did our bit in making sure the correct credit was acknowledged where due.
Again thanks to Gary for posting as it indeed shows there is still much science is finding out about Supernova.
