Bright Sn in NGC 3877

Bright Sn in NGC 3877



A bright supernova, 1998S, has been found on March 3 by Chinese astronomers at Beijing Observatory.

1998S is located in NGC 3877 an UMa galaxy at R.A. = 11h46m06s, Decl. = +47o29'.0. Magnitude at discovery was 15.2 and a day later it was measured 13.5.

Spectrum with Keck I show this object to be a type II event. The supernova is easily seen with an 8" telescope from suburban skies: use medium to high powers. The galaxy is close to M106, well placed in the evening sky.

Recent magnitude estimates show the star at around magn 12. A prediscovery image shows the sn at magn 16.0 on March 2.7. Use this chart to estimate visually the supernova (indicated by an X) and send reports to Stefano Pesci

Identifications are from TA E-Circular 1278 (capital letters) and NAS.VSS (others). Positions are given to an accuracy of 0.1s in R.A. and 1" in Decl. V-magnitudes followed by a colon (:) are uncertain. Accurate photometry is currently available only for stars 1, 2 and 3. Star 1 is Chi UMa. Star 5 appears to be double. References to positions and magnitudes are H = Hipparcos Catalogue, T = Tycho Catalogue, TI = Tycho Input Catalogue, G1 = Guide Star Catalogue, Ver. 1.1 [GSC] (single entry), G2 = GSC (mean of two entries). Colour indices (b-r) are based on the PPM USNO-A1.0 catalogue. The catalogues were accessed via the VizieR service of CDS, and the compiler wish to thank CDS for this service.
