R. H. McNaught and G. Garradd, Australian National University; M. Catelan,
Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile; E. C. Beshore and S. M. Larson,
Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona; and E. Christensen,
Gemini Observatory, report the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey discovery
of an apparent supernova in unfiltered Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) images:

 SN       2011 UT       R.A. (2000.0) Decl.      Mag.      Offset
 2011kk   Jan. 25.22   5 07 37.88  + 7 15 24.6   17.4     4" E, 25" N

The variable was designated PSN J05073790+0715251 when it was posted at the
Central Bureau's TOCP webpage (on the basis of slightly different position end
figures originally reported by the discovers) and is here designated SN 2011kk
based on the confirmation of this as a type-Ia supernova from spectroscopic
observations obtained on 2011 Jan. 25 or 26 by J. Prieto (cf. website URL
http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=3126).  Additional CCD magnitudes for
2011kk:  2011 Jan. 8.19 UT, [20.1 (CSS); 27.136, 17.8 (R. A. Koff, Bennett,
CO, USA; position end figures 37s.92, 24".5).
