SUPERNOVA 2002jp IN NGC 3313  

     Further to IAUC 8030, M. Ganeshalingam and W. Li report the
     discovery by LOTOSS of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images,
     with the following photometry available (via KAIT, except Dec. 10.5
     UT by M. Schwartz with the Tenagra II telescope):  May 14.2, [18.5;
     Nov. 23.5, 16.9; Dec. 7.5, 16.7; 10.5, 17.1:; 11.5, 17.2.  SN
     2002jp is located at R.A. = 10h37m26s.50, Decl. = -25o21'35".2
     (equinox 2000.0), which is 13".6 east and 145".9 south of NGC 3313.
     Foley et al. report that spectra, taken as above, show that SN
     2002jp is a type-Ic supernova, about 2 weeks past maximum light.
