My supernova discoveries:
SN2009gh in MCG +12-18-2 type IIP CBET 1850 Discovery date June 17, 2009 - MCG +12-18-2 is a Sb spiral galaxy in eastern Draco. Spectra of this supernova were obtained with the F.L.Whipple Observatory 1.5 meter and MDM Observatory 2.4 meter telescopes.
SN2008ev in UGC10155 type II CBET 1468 First supernova found with the Meade 16" OTA - discovery date August 9, 2008. The confirmation spectrum was obtained with the 2.5 meter Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT). UGC10155 is located in the constellation Corona Borealis close to the Hercules border.
SN2006sr in UGC14 type 1a IAUC8784
SN2006O in UGC633 type II IAUC8662
SN2005bx in MCG +12-13-19 type IIn IAUC8521 Discovery on April 26, 2005. MCG +12-13-19 is located in western Draco . SN2005bx was observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory on July 30, 2005. At 45 feet long, Chandra is the largest satellite the shuttle has ever launched (Chandra trivia). ATEL475
SN2005ay in NGC3938 type IIP IAUC8500 Discovery made on the evening of March 27, 2005. NGC3938 is located just below the "Big Dipper" in Ursa Major. Spectra of this supernova were first obtained with the Calar Alto 2.2-m telescope (southern Spain) and the 200 inch Hale telescope at Palomar. SN2005ay was observed in ultraviolet light by the GALEX Space Telescope on April 2, 2005. NUV-optical- IR composite image of NGC3938 and spectra of SN2005ay ATEL448 SN2005ay was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope on December 11, 2007.
Super Outburst of Luminous Blue Variable in NGC4656 IAUC8497 This LBV was discovered March 20, 2005. NGC4656 is located in constellation Canes Venatici. Classification of subluminous (peculiar) supernovae can sometimes be difficult. In some cases, these "low-power" exploding stars may actually be super-outburst events of Luminous Blue Variables and not true supernovae (SN1997bs, SN1999bw). The spectrum of this LBV was obtained with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) telescope located on the Canary Islands.
SN2004gx in UGC12663 type II IAUC8459 This discovery was made on the evening of December 30, 2004 with the Meade 12" OTA, Paramount ME, and ST9XE combination. UGC12663 is located inside the "Great Square of Pegasus".
SN2003dw in UGC10548 type 1a IAUC8124 My third discovery on April 26, 2003 was the first made with the Meade 12"OTA, Paramount ME mount and ST-9XE camera combination. UGC10548 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. CFA spectrum
SN2003O in UGC2798 type II IAUC8055 This discovery on January 18, 2003 was made with my 10" LX200 and ST9XE camera. The image is "noisy" because of a full moon rising. UGC2798 is located in the constellation Perseus.
SN2000cz in IC1535 type II IAUC7470 My first discovery on July 24, 2000, was captured with a Meade 10" LX200 and ST-6 camera. Because of problems with the verification process, I did not receive credit for this discovery.
