SUPERNOVAE 2005kl-2005ku

The discoveries of twelve supernovae have been reported:
2005kl by M. Migliardi (from unfiltered CROSS CCD images; cf. IAUC
7373, 8588; via A. Dimai, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy), 2005km by J.
Burket and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8632), and 2005kn-2005ku by
J. Frieman on behalf of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II
collaboration (all found at mag > 20.4, with 2005kt and 2005ku
predicted to peak around now at g = 18.2 and 17.5, respectively;
details given on CBET 304).

SN      2005 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2005kl  Nov. 22.14  12 24 35.68  +39 23 03.5  14.6  6" W, 4" N
2005km  Nov. 22.52  11 20 48.72  +32 17 25.2  17.5  3".5 E, 1".0 N

2005ku  Nov. 10     22 59 42.61  - 0 00 49.3  20.7     --

Nothing is visible at the location of 2005kl on Palomar Sky Survey
infrared, red, and blue plates.  Additional approximate magnitudes
for 2005kl in NGC 4369:  2003 May 5, [18.5; 2005 Nov. 23.15 UT,
14.7.  Additional KAIT magnitudes for 2005km in UGC 6356:  Mar.
17.20, [19.5; Nov. 23.54, 17.3.  SNe 2005kr and 2005ks are type-
Ib/c supernovae with broad lines similar to that seen in 1998bw;
the rest appear to be type-Ia supernovae except for type-Ic
supernova 2005kl (cf. CBET 305, 306).
