Active Dates: April 13, 1998 – April 15, 1998
Abstract:
Discovery of an apparent supernova of magnitude 14.9 on unfiltered CCD images obtained on Apr. 13, 1998. The supernova, designated 1998aq, was found during searches of the UK Nova/Supernova patrol.
Justification:
There is no star at the above position to magnitude 19 in the USNO A1.0 Catalogue. Earlier patrol photos by Armstrong on Mar. 9 and Apr. 7, 1998 did not show the object. Observers are encouraged to use the provided AAVSO 'e' scale Supernova Search Preliminary chart of NGC 3982 to observe the supernova and report their observations to AAVSO Headquarters.
