Yasuda, University of Tokyo, on behalf of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II collaboration, report the discovery of eleven supernovae on multiple g, r, and i images taken with the SDSS 2.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory by the SDSS observing team. Spectroscopy was obtained with the Hobby Eberly Telescope and the ARC 3.5-m telescope, showing ten to be of type Ia and one (2005gt) to be a probable type-Ia event. The discovery magnitudes tabulated below are all g magnitudes unless followed by an asterisk (in which case they are r magnitudes due to non-detection in g on the discovery date). Spectroscopic redshifts are given in the column labelled z. Peak magnitudes and dates (all 2005) are estimated from fits to the multi-band light curves. A full listing of confirmed supernovae from the SDSS Supernova Survey is available at http://sdssdp47.fnal.gov/sdsssn/snlist.php. SN Discov. R.A. (2000.0) Decl.
