SUPERNOVA 2010hp IN MCG -02-01-52
M. Miluzio, Padua University; and E. Cappellaro, Istituto Nazionale di
Astrofisica, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, report their discovery of an
apparent supernova in the course of the European Southern Observatory "Infrared
Supernova Search in Starburst Galaxies" performed with the HAWK-I instrument
at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The new object was first detected on a
K-band image obtained on July 21.26 UT at magnitude K = 17.1 (limiting mag K
= 19) and was confirmed on an image taken on Aug. 7.39 at magnitude K = 16.9
(limiting K magnitude 20). The presumed supernova is located at R.A. =
0h18m50s.01, Decl.= -10o21'40".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".6 west and 2".7
north of the center of MCG -02-01-52. Nothing is visible at this position on
K-band images taken on 2009 Aug. 25.41 (limiting K magnitude 20). No optical
images have been obtained yet. An identification map is posted at the
