SUPERNOVA 2003ad IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
Tim Puckett and Jack Newton (USA) have reported on IAUC 8065 that
they have detected a mag 17.8 possible supernova on a CCD frame of
Feb 3.47UT (0.60-m telescope) at:
RA 14h 56m 28.07s DEC +45 21' 09.2" (2000), 7.4"E and 4.2"S of the
centre of an anonymous galaxy.

SUPERNOVA 2003X IN UGC 11151
Further to the report of Tom Boles' discovery of this object on TA
E-Circular 1850, R. J. Foley et. al., obtained a spectrum on Feb 4
with the Shane 3-m telescope indicating SN 2003X is of type Ia
about one month past maximum according to IAUC 8065.

SUPERNOVA 2003ab IN UGC 4930
The discovery by Tom Boles of a new object in UGC 4930 was reported
on TA E-Circular 1852. A spectrum by R. J. Foley at. al., on feb 4
indicated it is of type II, a few weeks after maximum.
