SUPERNOVAE 2006cb, 2006cc, 2006cd, 2006ce

Four supernovae have been found in unfiltered images:  2006cb,
2006cc, and 2006cd by LOSS on KAIT images by N. J. Ponticello, H.
Khandrika, D. R. Madison, and W. Li (cf. IAUC 8707); 2006cd
independently by J. Newton, T. Crowley, and T. Puckett with a
0.40-m reflector at Portal, AZ, in the course of the Puckett
Observatory Supernova Search (the tabulated data below for 2006cd
is that from Puckett); and 2006ce by L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria,
South Africa (0.30-m reflector; cf. IAUC 8699).

Additional magnitudes for 2006cb in NGC 5541:  Feb. 23.48 UT, [19.5;
Apr. 19.39, 18.6.  Additional magnitudes for 2006cc in UGC 10244:
Feb. 13.48, [19.5; Apr. 26.45, [18.5; May 7.43, 18.1.  SN 2006cc is
a type-Ia supernova, near maximum on May 8 (cf. CBET 506).
Additional magnitudes for 2006cd in IC 1179:  2005 Sept. 9, [19.7
(Puckett); 2006 Feb. 23.45, [19.5 (KAIT); May 8.44, 18.2 (KAIT);
May 9.23, 18.2 (A. Sehgal, 0.50-m reflector, Osoyoos, BC); 9.45,
18.1 (KAIT).  Li gives the offset for 2006cd as 3".0 west and 11".2
south of the center of IC 1179, the southwest component of Arp 272
(the northeast component being NGC 6050).  Additional magnitudes
for 2006ce in NGC 908:  Apr. 1.713, R > 16.5 (not detected); May
11.151, B = 12.9, V = 12.55, R = 12.4.  Also, nothing is visible at
the location of 2006ce on the Digitized Sky Survey (limiting red
mag 20.5) or on Monard's images taken prior to Apr. 1 (limiting mag
about 18).
