SUPERNOVAE 2003B, 2003Q, 2003R, 2003S, AND 2003T

     Several additional supernova discoveries on unfiltered CCD
images have been reported, with the tabulated magnitudes below all
stated to be approximate.  SNe 2003Q and 2003R were reported by D.
Poznanski, A. Gal-Yam, K. Sharon, and D. Maoz, Tel Aviv University;
and B. T. Jannuzi, National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO),
from images of the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey field J0205-0455
obtained by Jannuzi with the 4-m Mayall telescope (+ Mosaic Camera)
at Kitt Peak.  SNe 2003S and 2003T were found via LOTOSS (cf. IAUC
7906) -- the former reported by M. Papenkova and W. Li (KAIT
discovery) and the latter by M. Schwartz and Li (Tenagra II
discovery).
