report the discovery of a supernova in unfiltered Catalina Sky Survey (CSS)
images:
SN 2009 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag. Offset
2009db Mar. 19.41 14 21 54.63 +26 01 02.0 18.4 0".9 W, 6".3 S
Follow-up images, including some taken with the Palomar 1.52-m reflector (+
Gunn g, r, and i filters) and the SAO Zeiss-1000 1.0-m telescope (+ R filter),
yield the following additional magnitudes for 2009db: Feb. 26.45 UT, [21.0
(CSS); Mar. 21.22, g = 18.6, r = 18.7, i = 19.0; Mar. 25.41, 18.5 (CSS);
Mar. 28.07, R = 18.32; Mar. 29.98, R = 18.24; Apr. 1.93, R = 18.44; Apr. 2.28,
19.1 (CSS); Apr. 4.04, R = 18.55. A confirming spectrogram (range 600-1000
nm) was taken with the BTA 6-m telescope on Apr. 4 UT; with the aid of the
Supernova Identification code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024),
2009db is found to be a type-Ia supernova, with a spectrum similar to that of
SN 1999ee.
