SUPERNOVA 2001do IN UGC 11459

M. Modjaz and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, report the discovery by LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) of an apparent supernova in unfiltered Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope CCD frames taken on Aug. 14.2 (mag about 16.2) and 15.2 UT (mag about 16.1). The new object is located at R.A. = 19h37m23s.02, Decl. = +40o42'24".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 5".2 east and 3".7 north of the nucleus of UGC 11459. A KAIT image taken on Aug. 10.2 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
