Stu second SN discovery for December in NGC10

[Greg Bock (Greg Bock)]

HI all,
just to keep you updated, Stu Parker discovered his second supernova for December in NGC10. He discovered it on December 22 at about 18th magnitude, so it is a faint one, and probably too faint for most visual observers unfortunately.

Hot off the press a few minutes ago, it's spectrum has just been analysed as a type II, with more details to come.
Well done once again Stu. That makes 23 for Stu, and 29 for the BOSS team.

This discovery in NGC10 precedes my own discovery of a possible supernova at about magnitude 15.5 in NGC1154 by 5 days on December 27, yet to be proven by a spectrum, so I will be keeping my fingers crossed. See the following thread for more details of this discovery as they come to hand...

Great going!!!!

I was going to say, this would be the squillionth SN for Stu this year!!!.

Thanks Greg , Well done Stu
I had seen this one mentioned, but is Miles too faint for me
All the best to Stu and the BOSS team for 2012
Cheers

Thanks for reporting this one Greg. I really hope that Stu's roll of Sns continue into 2012.

Hi all,
The Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBAT) has issued an electronic telegram advising that Stu's latest find in NGC10 as SN2011jo...


So, as I noted in the thread for NGC1154, the sn in that galaxy is SN2011jp, which gives BOSS a pair of discoveries, both type IIP, together in the SN list for 2011....a great way to end the year.
