SUPERNOVA 2004av IN ESO 571-G15
     Further to IAUC 8305, M. Moore and W. Li report the LOSS discovery, on
KAIT images taken on Mar. 17.35 and 18.35 UT, of an apparent supernova (mag
about 15.8) located at R.A. = 11h40m57s.84, Decl. = -22o28'53".6 (equinox
2000.0), which is 12".6 west and 15".9 south of the nucleus of ESO 571-G15.
A KAIT image taken on Mar. 4.32 also showed the new object at mag about
16.8, while an image taken on Jan. 22.36 showed nothing at this position
(limiting mag about 18.0).


NOTE: These 'Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams' are intended to
      be preliminary announcements of items that later appear in the
      formal IAU Circulars.  Citations should normally be made to IAUCs
      rather than to CBETs.
