SUPERNOVA 2014dd IN UGC 2504 = PSN J03033627+4656520
F. Ciabattari, E. Mazzoni, and R. Simonetti, Borgo a Mozzano, Italy,
report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.3) on unfiltered CCD
images (limiting magnitude 19.5) obtained on Aug. 29.06 and 30.04 UT with a
0.5-m Newtonian telescope (+ FLI 4710 Proline camera). The new object is
located at R.A. = 3h03m36s.27, Decl. = +46d56'52".0 (equinox 2000.0;
astrometry with respect to UCAC-2 stars), which is 5" west and 14" north of
the center of the galaxy UGC 2504. Nothing is visible at this position on
digitized plates of the Palomar Sky Survey from 1989 Oct. 1 (F plate; limiting
magnitude 20.3) and 1993 Sept. 24 (J plate; limiting magnitude 20.3). The
variable was designated PSN J03033627+4656520 when it was posted at the
Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2014dd based on the
spectroscopic confirmation reported below. Additional CCD magnitudes for
2014dd: 2014 Aug. 30.965, 17.3 (G. Masi, P. Catalano, and P. Schmeer;

S. T. Hodgkin, A. Hall, M. Fraser, and H. Campbell, University of
Cambridge; L. Wyrzykowski and Z. Kostrzewa-Rutkowska, Warsaw Observatory; and
N. Pietro, Isaac Newton Group, Warwick University, report that a spectrogram
(range 350-800 nm; resolution about 0.6 nm) was obtained of PSN
J03033627+4656520 (= SN 2014dd) with the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (+
Intermediate Dispersion Spectrograph + R300V grating) at La Palma on Sept.
4.17 UT. The spectrum was compared to a set of templates using SNID (Blondin
and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024), and a good match was found to a type-Ia
supernova around one month after maximum light. The redshift of 2014dd is
consistent with that of the host galaxy (z = 0.0235, from the NASA
Extragalactic Database).
