SN 2000dj: a type-II supernova appeared near SN 1972L
The Lick KAIT team has discovered a mag 17 SN, SN 2000dj.
The reported brightness indicate that this SN is in the rising phase.
H. Yamaoka commented in [vsnet-campaign-sn 69]
that NGC 735 has produced another SN 1972L, and it is quite close to the
reported position of SN 2000dj
(vsnet-campaign-sn 72,
73).
H. Yamaoka calculated the position of SN 2000dj to
be R.A. = 1h56m40s.56, Decl. = +34o10'12".4 which is almost consistent
with KAIT position within the error. B. Skiff performed astrometry on
SN 1972L, which has been suggested to locate near SN 2000dj, which
yields 1h56m40s.6 +34d10m14s (3"-5" error)
(vsnet-campaign-sn 74).
H. Yamaoka forwarded the IAUC 7491
which revealed SN 2000dj to be a real type II SN
(vsnet-campaign-sn 79,
87).
