SUPERNOVA 2001dl IN UGC 11725

C. Yu and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, report the discovery by LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) of an apparent supernova in unfiltered images taken with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) on July 30.4 (mag about 17.1) and 31.3 UT (mag about 17.0). The new object is located at R.A. = 21h21m01s.73, Decl. = +9 10'50".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 1".8 west and 10".6 north of the nucleus of UGC 11725. A KAIT image taken on July 25.4 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
