SUPERNOVA 2001Z IN IC 3528

Modjaz and Li also report the LOTOSS discovery of another apparent supernova (mag about 18.3) on an unfiltered image taken with KAIT on Mar. 3.5 UT. SN 2001Z is located at R.A. = 12h34m55s.87, Decl. = +15o34'07".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 0".5 west and 11".2 north of the nucleus of IC 3528. The new object was confirmed (mag about 18.5) on an unfiltered image taken by Schwartz on Mar. 4.4 with the Tenagra 0.5-m telescope. A KAIT image of the same field taken on Feb. 6.4 showed nothing at the position of the new object (limiting mag about 19.5).
