Following discussions between the CBAT and the IAU Working Group on Supernovae (WGS) in 2003, it was agreed that a mutual CBAT/WGS mirrored interactive website would be created by WGS members by the end of 2003, in order to address the growing problem of many faint, unconfirmed supernova suspects that have been reported in recent years mostly by the high-z surveys. The interactive webpage, when completed, will permit registered users to post their spectroscopically unconfirmed discovery reports of faint objects (fainter than mag 19 or 20) immediately onto a webpage that will be accessible to all professional astronomers using large telescopes. Because the CBAT/WGS interactive website is not yet working, the CBAT has created this temporary non-interactive website that is being maintained entirely by the CBAT. Pending objects will be posted here until the interactive webpage is up and working.
There is a new provisional designation scheme that will be employed for faint objects that have not been spectroscopically confirmed as supernovae, of the form LYYMM-nnn, where L stands for the century (K = 2000, J = 1900, etc.), YY is for the last two digits of the year, MM is for the month (with leading zeroes through September), and nnn is a consecutive number (with leading zeroes for numbers < 100) for the order in which objects are catalogued in that month. Contributors are requested to adhere strictly to the format listed below, placing all data in the proper columns; for designation, leave the consecutive number after LYYMM as simply "nnn", and the appropriate number will be assigned before posting on this webpage. Reference to the individual objects can then be made as "PSN LYYMM-nnn".
The observations of possible supernovae are listed below in plain ASCII text (with NO tabs!) in a 98-column format. Note the following template to guide you in producing a similar list to send for inclusion.

Above, the date (given as year, month, date in Universal Time) should be given to 0.01 or 0.001 day, with leading zeroes if appropriate, in columns 12-25. The right ascension (columns 28-38) and declination (columns 40-50) should be given to full precision (0s.01 in R.A. and 0".1 in Decl.), with leading zeroes if appropriate. The magnitude should be given to tenths in columns 53-56, with column 57 for the bandpass (and column 58 for any additional bandpass character); use usual upper- and lower-letter band letters, and use "U" for unfiltered CCD. The offset (columns 60-64 for right ascension and columns 66-70 for declination) of the new object from the center of the nearest visible host galaxy should be given in arc seconds for both R.A. and Decl., with the values given to 0".1 and the directional letters (E = east = 90 degrees clockwise from north toward south, and W = west for R.A. offsets; N = north and S = south for Decl. offsets) specified. The person(s) who actually send the e-mail with the discovery should be placed (first initial, full last name) in columns 75-93. Columns 95 onwards contain the CBAT published source, if any. Additional information (including the name of the survey, any other contributing astronomers, and important succinct details regarding reference images and their dates and limiting magnitudes, etc.) is given in the notes below.
Below are listed (temporarily) such unconfirmed observations, so that interested observers may attempt confirming observations. Please report any observations (negative or positive) promptly to the CBAT at e-mail address cbat@cfa.harvard.edu.

Mattila CBET 2213 --------------- NOTES (listed designation): (J9711-001) S. Lipari and R. Diaz, Cordoba Observatory, report their discovery of a possible infrared supernova in NGC 3256 on archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) NICMOS images, taken at K (2.2-micron) and F237M (2.4-micron) bands as a part of their long-term study of starburst and galactic wind in infrared mergers and QSOs. The tabulated offsets above are with respect to the main optical nucleus of the merger. The new object appears in the HST images obtained in 1997 Nov. 28.9 UT, but does not appear in 1993 ESO/MPI K-band images (cf. Kotilainen et al. 1996, A.Ap. 305, 107, Fig. 1), and also it does not appear in ESO NTT K images from 1999 and 2001 (down to limiting mag K about 18). This new object was detected only at wavelengths longer that the K band; it is not present in their optical observations at CASLEO and Bosque Alegre Station, in 1997 and 1998, and it was not detected in the HST/NICMOS observations of 1997 Nov. 28 in the J (1.1-micron) and H (1.6-micron) bands. A similar behavior was found previously for the southern nucleus, which is located in the region where this object was detected: it is not observed at wavelengths shorter than 2.2 microns. The adopted distance of 37 Mpc (H_o = 75) yields an absolute mag of M(K) = -20.6 (without reddening correction). The HST K-band image from 1997 Nov 28.9, including the new object, was published by Lipari et al. (2000, A.J. 120, 645, Fig. 1g), where J9711-001 is the third-brightest object in the field (dimmer only than the two main nuclei). J9711-001 is located in the strongly obscured region of this merger (to the south), in the same extended area where Maiolino et al. (IAUC 7661) detected another apparent infrared supernova, SN 2001db. The detection of two obscured possible supernovae in NGC 3256, in a period of only 3 years, is in agreement with the very high supernova rate expected in infrared mergers with massive star formation and galactic wind processes. (K0211-001, K0211-002, K0211-003, K0211-004) Further to IAUCs 8119, 8120, and 8121, M. Doi, Institute of Astronomy, University of Tokyo, on behalf of the Supernova Cosmology Project, reports four additional hostless possible supernovae. Additional magnitudes were obtained on 2002 Nov. 6, 10, 28, 30, Dec. 7, and 8, but Doi requests that we only show one additional magnitude (after those tabulated here): PSN K0211-001, Dec. 8, 28.8; PSN K0211-002, Dec. 8, 28.5; PSN K0211-003, Dec. 8, 26.4; PSN K0211-004, Dec. 8, 25.9. (K0210-001) Notes on IAUC 8992. (K0302-001) Further to IAUC 8281, 8284, and 8290, L. Strolger and A. Riess, Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) report the discovery of another apparent supernova found within the images of the Ultra Deep Field (UDF) and UDF Parallel fields on CCD images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope's ACS. PSN K0302-001 was found in four images taken on Feb. 10, but not detected in images taken on 2003 Sept. 1.89 UT (limiting z mag 28.5). (K0306-001, K0306-002, K0306-003, K0306-004, K0306-005) Further to IAUC 8178, P. Astier and C. Pritchet report additional unconfirmed supernovae candidates found via the CFHT Legacy Survey Supernova Project. None of the new objects were visible in images taken on 2003 June 5 or 6 (limiting mag about 24.5). Additional i' magnitudes: PSN K0306-001, 2003 June 26.5 UT, 23.3; 30.5, 23.4; July 4.5, 23.7. PSN K0306-002, June 26.5, 23.3; 30.5, 23.4; July 4.5, 23.5. PSN K0306-003, June 26.5, 22.9; 30.5, 22.6; July 4.5, 22.5. PSN K0306-004, June 30.3, 23.7; July 4.3, 23.4. PSN K0306-005, July 4.5, 24.0.

Gibbons, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), on behalf of the Supernova Cosmology Project (cf. IAUC 8119, plus N. Kashikawa, M. Kowalski, N. Kuznetsova, T. Morokuma); and A. Riess, STScI, on behalf of L. Strolger, H. Ferguson, T. Dahlen, and B. Mobasher, STScI; and of P. Challis, CfA, report on new objects found with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope; sums of four 400-s z' exposures and one 400-s i' exposure (limiting magnitudes z' = 26.2 and i' = 26.5). Subtraction of GOODS HDF-N survey data (obtained 2002 Nov. 21-2003 May 25; limiting magnitudes z' = 27.4 and i' = 28.4) from April 2004 F850LP (z') and F775W (i') 2100-s images revealed new objects at signal-to-noise ratios > 6 within 0".2 apertures, but typically well above 15, and with no evidence of systematic motion indicative of solar-system objects. All reported events appear associated with host galaxies, none of which show active galaxy variability at the positions of the candidates over the course of the GOODS survey.

Magnitudes of objects in i' band: K0404-001, 26.3; K0404-003, 24.3; K0404-004, 25.5; K0404-005, 25.1; K0404-006, 25.7; K0404-007, 26.5; K0404-008, 25.2; K0404-009, > 26.5; K0404-001, 25.7. (K0405-001, K0405-002, K0405-003, K0405-004, K0405-005, K0405-006, K0405-007, K0405-008, K0405-009, K0405-010) L. Strolger, STScI, and R. Gibbons, LBL, report, on behalf of the 'Probing Acceleration Now with Supernova' (PANS) Team and the Supernova Cosmology Project, respectively (cf. PSN K0404-001 through K0404-011), new objects found with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope in sums of four 400-s F850LP (z') exposures and one 400-s F775W (i') exposure (limiting magnitudes z' = 26.2 and i' = 26.5). Subtraction of the previous campaign of the survey (2004 Apr., same limiting magnitudes) and the GOODS HDF-N survey data (obtained during 2002 Nov. 21-2003 May 25; limiting mags z' = 27.4 and i' = 28.4) from the May 2004 images revealed new objects at signal-to-noise ratios > 6 within 0".2 apertures. There was no evidence of systematic motion indicative of solar-system objects. All reported events appear associated with host galaxies, none of which show active-galaxy variability over the course of the GOODS survey. Magnitudes of the objects in i' band: K0405-001, 25.1; K0405-002, 25.4; K0405-003, 22.7; K0405-004, 23.4; K0405-005, 25.8; K0405-006, 26.0; K0405-007, 24.4; K0405-008, 24.3; K0405-009, > 26.5. SN 2003eq (cf. IAUC 8140) appeared very close to the position of K045-010, but these appear to be two separate events in the same host galaxy. (K0409-001) S. Mattila, P. Meikle, P. Vaisanen, C. Alard, T. Dahlen, A. Efstathiou, D. Farrah, C. Fransson, R. Joseph, P. Lira, P. Lundqvist, G. Ostlin, S. Ryder, J. Sollerman report the discovery of an apparent supernova in K_s-band images obtained using the NAOS CONICA Adaptive Optics System on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). K0409-001, first observed on 2004 Sept. 13.1 UT and again on Sept. 15.0, is located at R.A. = 18h32m41s.24, Decl. = -34o11'26".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is 1".14 east and 0".78 north of (or 500 pc from) the K_s-band nucleus of the luminous infrared galaxy IRAS 18293-3413. K0409-001 was detected via image-subtraction techniques using a reference K_s-band image obtained under similar conditions on May 4.3 with the VLT/NACO as part of the ongoing search campaign for highly obscured supernovae. A magnitude of K_s = 18.7 ± 0.1 was measured for K0409-001 from the subtracted images. [This object was designated SN 2004ip on CBET 858.] (K0409-002) Discovered by E. Kankare and S. Mattila, Tuorla Observatory; S. Ryder, Anglo-Australian Observatory; A. Alonso-Herrero, T. Diaz Santos, and L. Colina Instituto de Estructura de la Materia (IEM), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC); J. Kotilainen, Tuorla Observatory; M.-A. Perez-Torres, Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA), CSIC; P. Vaisanen, South African Astronomical Observatory; A. Alberdi, IAA/CSIC; and A. Efstathiou, European University, Cyprus, report the discovery of an apparent supernova on near- infrared images of the luminous infrared galaxy IRAS 17138-1017 in the course of their infrared search program (cf. IAUCs 8473, 8474; CBET 858). The new object, designated here as K0409-002, was detected via comparison of K-band images obtained using the Altair/NIRI adaptive optics system with "Laser Guide Star" on the Gemini-North Telescope on 2008 Apr. 21.6 UT (when the new 2004 object was not visible) with F110W (J-band), F160W (H-band), and F187N (K-band) NICMOS images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope on 2004 Sept. 23.0 UT (when K0409-002 was detected at J = 18.3, H = 16.9, and K = 16.5, or at integrated fluxes of 0.09, 0.18, and 0.20 mJy, respectively. The offset tabulated above is with respect to the galaxy's H-band nucleus. Nothing is visible at the position of K0409-002 in the K-band Altair/NIRI image from 2008 to a limiting magnitude of approximately 20.0. Explanations other than supernovae for this object are extremely unlikely; also, large numbers of supernovae are expected in the nuclear regions of starburst galaxies and LIRGs as a result of the large star-formation rates therein (e.g., Mattila et al. 2007, ApJ, 659L, 9). (K0504-001) Designated as SN 2005bk and published on IAUC 8512. (K0508-001) Designated as SN 2005du and published on CBET 214. (K0509-001) Discovered by Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (reported with supernovae announced on CBETs 268 and 272). Not visible on a reference image taken approximately two years earlier (limiting magnitudes: g > 22.5, r > 22, i > 22). Apparent host galaxy has magnitudes g = 19.4, r = 18.0, i = 17.5. Eight observing nights of g, r, and i photometry are available during Sept. 10-Oct. 20; the estimated peak-brightness date was Sept. 14. On Oct. 20, it was not detected in g but appeared at r = 21.8. (K0901-001) "Confirmed" as a possible-type-Ic supernova and designated SN 2009de on CBET 1766. (K0905-001) Nothing visible at this position on co-added reference images taken during the week before discovery to limiting mag 22.4. Spectrum shows a blue and mostly featureless continuum and requires further spectroscopic follow-up. (K0905-002) Nothing visible at this position on co-added reference images taken during the week before discovery to limiting mag 22.1. Spectrum shows a blue and mostly featureless continuum and requires further spectroscopic follow-up. (K0905-003) Nothing visible at this position on co-added reference images taken during the week before discovery to limiting mag 22.0. Spectrum shows a blue and mostly featureless continuum and requires further spectroscopic follow-up. (K0909-001) Pan-STARRs survey. Nothing visible at this position on images taken on 2009 June 3-July 17 (limiting mag about 22.5). (K0910-001) Pan-STARRs survey. Nothing visible at this position on images taken on 2009 June 3-Sept. 9 (limiting mag about 22.5). (K0910-002) Pan-STARRs survey. Nothing visible at this position on images taken on 2009 Aug. 29-Sept. 1 (limiting mag about 22.5). (K0910-003) Pan-STARRs survey. Nothing visible at this position on images taken on 2009 Aug. 29 (limiting mag about 22.5). (K0911-001) The new object -- which appears to be within, or behind, the spiral bar of the host galaxy -- is not visible on images taken on 2009 Nov. 23.421 (limiting red mag about 19.9), 25.414 (limiting red mag about 20.5), and 26.409 (limiting red mag about 20.8). Nothing is visible at the new object's position on a Palomar Sky Survey image (via the Digitized Sky Survey) taken on 1996 Mar. 17 (limiting red mag approximately 20.2). (K1002-001) Close to center of the galaxy IC 883; infrared observations only.
