Abstract
Syuichi Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.3) by Koichi Itagaki (Teppo-cho, Yamagata, Japan) on an unfiltered CCD frame (limiting magnitude 19.5) taken on Mar. 24.465 UT using a 0.50-m f/6 reflector. The new object is located at R.A. = 5h11m43s.96, Decl. = +67d29'29".4 (equinox 2000.0; UCAC4 reference stars), which is located 7".8 west and 11".7 north of the center of the galaxy UGC 3252 (which itself has position end figures 45s.32, 17".7). Itagaki posted his discovery image at website URL http://k-itagaki.chicappa.jp/images/U3252.jpg. The variable was designated PSN J05114396+6729294 when it was posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2014aj based on the spectroscopic confirmation reported below.
