Supernova 1995U in ESO 235-IG13
Abstract
B. P. Schmidt, Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories, reports the discovery of a supernova of mag about 18 by R. H. McNaught on a U.K. Schmidt R film taken by M. J. Drinkwater on July 29.56 UT. SN 1995U is located at R.A. = 20h54m40s.62, Decl. = -51d22'26".8 (equinox 2000.0) in the galaxy ESO 235-IG13. A nearby star of mag 17-17.5 has end figures 41.19s, 15".1. M. M. Phillips, Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, reports that BVI CCD images obtained by P. Harding with the CTIO 0.9-m telescope on Aug. 1 and 2 clearly confirm the presence of the SN and indicate that it decreased in brightness by about 0.1 mag in both B and V between the two nights.
