SUPERNOVA 2000bi IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     M. M. M. Santangelo, Lucca, Italy, reports his discovery with
the Monte Agliale 0.51-m reflector, in the course of the Monte
Agliale Supernovae Search, of an apparent supernova in a member
galaxy of the Abell 576 cluster.  SN 2000bi was found at R about
18.4 on three unfiltered frames taken on Mar. 22.90 UT, and
confirmed on ten frames taken on Apr. 7.92 (R about 19.2) and 8.85
(R about 19.2); the limiting magnitude of all these frames is R
about 20.0.  The new object is located at R.A. = 7h21m33s.46, Decl. =
+55o45'30".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 12" east and 4" north
of the host galaxy nucleus.  Inspection of first and second Palomar
Sky Survey images and of the Palomar Quick-V survey, as well as a
frame taken with the 1.52-m reflector of the Loiano Observatory
some years ago, reveals nothing at the position of SN 2000bi.


SUPERNOVA 2000bj IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     D. Kirkman, Bell Laboratories (BL); I. Dell'Antonio and R. A.
Schommer, National Optical Astronomy Observatory; G. Squires,
California Institute of Technology; and J. A. Tyson, BL, of the
Deep Lens Survey (see http://dls.bell-labs.com) team, with support
from D. Wittman (BL), A. Becker and C. Stubbs (University of
Washington), and G. Bernstein (University of Michigan), report the
discovery of a possible supernova (V about 24.3) on CCD 600-s V
frames taken with the Cerro Tololo 4-m telescope (+ Mosaic II
camera) on Apr. 5.039 UT.  SN 2000bj is located at R.A. =
10h51m27s.24, Decl. = -5 08'29".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is about
0".9 north of the centroid of a faint galaxy.  SN 2000bj was also
present on subsequent B-, R-, and z-band frames taken on the same
night, and in V-band images taken on Apr. 2 (when it was 0.2 mag
fainter), but it is not visible on images taken with the same
telescope on Mar. 8 (V > 24.7).  The low-surface-brightness host
galaxy (V about 24.5), visible in some of the images, is probably a
spiral or irregular galaxy.  Details and finding charts are posted
at http://www.astro.washington.edu/becker/deeplens/trans4.html.
