SUPERNOVAE
     A. Becker, Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, reports, on
behalf of the Deep Lens Survey Team (cf. IAUC 7804) and P. Baca
(University of Colorado at Denver), the discovery of eight apparent
supernovae in images taken on the Cerro Tololo 4-m telescope (+
MOSAIC II imager) by I. Dell'Antonio, Baca, D. Norman, and Becker.

SN        2002 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.      Mag.

The new objects were identified by differencing five stacked
exposures from previous sets of five stacked exposures (whose
limiting magnitudes are listed below).  Additional magnitudes:
SN 2002ax, 2002 Jan. 11.3, V about [25.5; Feb. 16.3, B = 21.9.
SN 2002ay, 2002 Jan. 11.3, V about [25.5; Feb. 16.3, B = 23.3.
SN 2002az, 2002 Mar. 4.4, z' about [25.5; 2002 Feb. 16.2, B = 23.7;
17.2, R = 21.2.  SN 2002ba, 2002 Jan. 10.1, R about [26; Feb. 19.1,
V = 22.3. SN 2002bb, 2002 Jan. 10.1, R about [26; Feb. 19.1, V =
21.1.  SN 2002bc, 2002 Jan. 10.1, R about [26; Feb. 19.1, V = 21.7.
SN 2002bd, 2002 Jan. 10.2, V about [25.5; Feb. 18.2, R = 22.26.
SN 2002be, 2002 Jan. 15.2, B about [25.5; Feb. 17.2, R = 23.6;
 19.3, V = 23.4.


SUPERNOVA 2001jx IN NGC 4622
     R. Buta and G. G. Byrd, University of Alabama; and T. Freeman,
Bevill State Community College, report their discovery of an
apparent supernova (U = 17.5) on Hubble Space Telescope images
taken with filters F336W (U), F439W (B), F555W (V), and F814W (I)
during 2001 May 25.6-25.9 UT.  SN 2001jx is located at R.A. =
12h42m40s.04, Decl. = -40o43'12".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 28".6
east and 87".4 north of the nucleus of NGC 4622.  There is nothing
at this position on the Digitized Sky Survey.  During the 8-hr
observing period, there was no detectable movement of the object.
At the time of the observations, the object was bright enough to
saturate the B, V, and I images in 500-s exposures.
