SUPERNOVA 2011dv IN NGC 6078 = PSN J16120400+1412330
F. Ciabattari, Borgo a Mozzano, Italy, reports the discovery of a point-
like object (mag 16.2) on unfiltered CCD images (limiting magnitude 19.2)
obtained on June 28.86 UT with a 0.5-m Newtonian telescope in the course of
the Italian Supernovae Search Project, the new object being located at R.A. =
16h12m04s.62, Decl. = +14d12'33".2 (equinox 2000.0; astrometry with respect to
UCAC-2 stars), which is 13" west of the center of the galaxy NGC 6078. The
variable was designated PSN J16120400+1412330 when posted on the Central
Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2011dv based on the
spectroscopic confirmation reported below. Additional magnitudes for 2011dv
as provided by Ciabattari: 1992 Apr. 30, [20.3 (Palomar Sky Survey, J plate);
1994 June 8, [20.3 (Palomar Sky Survey, F plate); 2010 June, [19.1 (images
taken by Ciabattari); 2011 June 29.98 UT, 16.0 (A. Dimai, Cortina d'Ampezzo,
Italy; and S. Leonini, Siena, Italy; remotely using the GRAS-7 PlaneWave
43-cm CDK telescope in Spain).

Zachary, 2011 Advanced Teen Astronomy Camp, report that inspection of a
low-dispersion optical spectrum (range 370-690 nm) of PSN J16120400+1412330 =
SN 2011dv, obtained with the 2.3-m Bok telescope (+ Boller & Chivens
spectrograph) at Steward Observatory on June 30 UT, shows it to be a normal
type-Ia supernova near maximum light. Cross-correlation with a library of
supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and
Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) finds good matches with near-maximum (2 +/- 6
days) template spectra of SN 1992A and SN 2002bo. Adopting the NASA/IPAC
Extragalactic Database recession velocity for NGC 6078 of 9378 km/s (Falco et
al. 1999, PASP 111, 438), the maximum absorption in the Si II line (rest
635.5 nm) is blueshifted by approximately 13600 km/s.

of Canada (NRCC); M. L. Graham, Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope,
University of California at Santa Barbara; E. Y. Hsiao, Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory; and D. W. E. Green, Harvard University, report that a spectrogram
(range 389-725 nm., resolution 0.3 nm) of PSN J16120400+1412330 = SN 2011dv,
obtained on June 30.27 UT with the 1.82-m Plaskett Telescope of the NRCC,
shows it to be a type-Ia supernova about five days past maximum light.
Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the SNID code
indicates that 2011dv is most similar to the type-Ia supernova 2006gz at
five days past maximum light.
