SUPERNOVA 1989Q IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
C. Pollas, Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur, reports his discovery
of an apparent supernova (mag 19.5) on Schmidt 153-01 plates
exposed on Sept. 26.02 and 28.00 UT. Nothing appears on an older
Caussols Schmidt plate, nor on the Palomar Sky Survey prints. The
supernova is located at R.A. = 1h42m48.98, Decl. = +21 50'16.6, and
the galaxy at R.A. = 1h42m49.10, Decl. = +21 50'12.0 (equinox 1950.0).
There is a nearby red star (mag 18) at R.A. = 1h42m49.23, Decl. =
+21 49'23.6.
H2356-309
R. Falomo, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, writes: "Low-
resolution spectra (400-750 nm) of the x-ray-selected BL-Lac object
H2356-309 (Schwartz et al. 1989, in BL Lac Objects, Springer-Verlag)
were obtained at the European Southern Observatory 1.52-m telescope
(+ CCD) on Aug. 9 and 10, using the finding chart provided by D.
Schwartz. Weak absorption features are clearly apparent on a
nonthermal continuum: alpha(nu) = -1.7; V = 17.3. Identification with
Ca II (H and K), the Fraunhofer G band (430.9 nm), and Mg I b yields
z = 0.17 for the underlying galaxy. A short exposure (ESO 3.6-m
telescope + EFOSC) without filter clearly shows the presence of the
host galaxy."
