SUPERNOVA 2001L IN MCG -01-30-11

A. Friedman, W. D. Li, and R. Chornock, University of California at Berkeley, report the discovery by LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) of a supernova (mag about 15.4) on an unfiltered image taken on Jan. 18.4 UT (and confirmed at mag about 15.7 on an earlier image taken on 2000 Dec. 31.4) with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope. SN 2001L is located at R.A. = 11h36m48s.83, Decl. = -8 35'07".0 (equinox 2000.0), which is 0".3 east and 3".8 north of the nucleus of MCG -01-30-11. A KAIT image taken on 2000 Dec. 23.4 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
