SUPERNOVA 2001ej, 2001fx, AND 2001fy

M. Papenkova and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, report observations by LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) of SN 2001ej and two new apparent supernovae in unfiltered Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) images:

SN______2000 UT______R.A. (2000.0)__Decl._____R_______Offset

2001fx__Nov. 8.2___23 39 32.72__-22 24 46.3___18.2___8".0 E, 1".3 N

2001fy__Nov. 7.2___22 08 54.03__+40 20 50.3___18.7__ 2".9 W, 1".5 S

Additional magnitude estimates from CCD images taken by KAIT and by M. Schwartz with the Tenagra Observatory 0.5-m telescope (the latter denoted by T): SN 2001ej in UGC 3829, Mar. 24.3 UT, [19.0; Oct. 23.5 (T), Nov. 1.5, and 10.5, about 17.5. SN 2001fx in IC 5345, Oct. 14.2, [19.0; 20.2, (hint); 25.2, (hint); Nov. 1.2, (hint); Nov. 10.2, about 18.3; 11.2, about 18.3 (T). SN 2001fy in UGC 11922, Nov. 1.2, [19.5; 12.2, about 18.4 (T).
