Zheng, SU, on behalf of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II collaboration, report the discovery of ten supernovae on g, r, and i images taken with the SDSS 2.5-m telescope at APO by the SDSS observing team. J. Marriner, D. McGinnis (Fermilab), G. Miknaitis, A. Becker, J. Frieman, J. Holtzman, and A. Riess also report confirming spectroscopy for 2007nt, obtained with the ARC 3.5-m telescope on Oct. 18 UT. M. Sako, C. D'Andrea, and N. Yasuda report confirming spectroscopy for 2007nr, 2007nv, 2007nw, 2007nx, 2007ny, and 2007oa that was obtained on the Subaru 8-m telescope on Oct. 19; they add that a Subaru spectrum of 2007lx obtained on the same night shows it to be a type-II supernova (this object was previously reported on CBET 1102 as a possible type-II event). R. Romani, C. Zheng, M. Sako, C. Wheeler, D. Schneider, and R. Bender, together with U. Hopp (University of Munich) and W. Kollatschny (University of Goettingen), report confirming spectroscopy that was obtained at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope on Oct. 19 and 20 for 2007ns, 2007nu, and 2007nz. The discovery magnitudes tabulated below are all g magnitudes; spectroscopic redshifts are given in the column labelled z. Peak dates (all 2007) are approximate estimates either from fits to the early light curves or from the spectra, with a typical uncertainty of plus-or-minus several days; in cases where such estimates are either uncertain or very discrepant, they are not reported. Spectroscopic types marked with a question mark (?) imply that the type identification based on the spectrum is uncertain. SN Discov. R.A. (2000.0) Decl.
