SUPERNOVA 2000dp IN NGC 1139

S. Beckmann and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (cf. IAUC 6627, 7126), report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on Oct. 2.4 and 3.4 UT, both yielding mag about 16.8. The new object is located at R.A. = 2h52m44s.41, Decl. = -14o31'54".7 (equinox 2000.0), which is 34".1 west and 8".3 south of the nucleus of NGC 1139. A KAIT image of the same field on Sept. 21.4 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 18.5).
