0740+73 Supernova 1995E in NGC 2441
Abstract:
We have been informed by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 6137) and by Guy Hurst, editor of The Astronomer, of the discovery of a supernova in NGC 2441 by Alessandro Gabrielcic, Agordo, Italy, on February 20.850 UT on a CCD frame at V magnitude about 15.0. SN 1995E is located 7 seconds east and 22 seconds south of the galaxy's center. P. Molaro (who reported the discovery to the IAU Circular), C. Boehm, and G. Tessicini, Trieste Observatory, report that the spectrogram they have obtained suggests that SN 1995E to be a type-Ia supernova.
Justification:
Until we have made a finder chart for this field we recommend that, if the supernova continues to brighten, observers make use of the comparison star sequence in the field of Z Cam, which is near by.
