SUPERNOVA 1986J IN NGC 891
     J. van Gorkom, M. Rupen, G. Knapp and J. Gunn, Princeton
University, report the detection with the Very Large Array on Aug. 21
of a probable radio supernova in NGC 891 at R.A. = 2h19m22s6, Decl. =
+42deg06'19" (equinox 1950.0).  Measured fluxes on Aug. 24 were 76,
112 and 53 mJy at 1.515, 4.835 and 14.9 GHz, respectively.
Measurements by G. Neugebauer amd K. Matthews with the Palomar 5-m
telescope on Aug. 22 gave ~ 1.5 mJy (mag 14) at 2.2 microns.


IRAS 16399-0937
     L. Staveley-Smith, S. W. Unger, R. J. Cohen, J. M. Chapman
and L. Pointon, Jodrell Bank, report: "With the Mk IA radio telescope
we have detected OH megamaser emission from the source IRAS
16399-0937, which appears on the Palomar Sky Survey as an interacting
galaxy.  The 1667-MHz line has a recession velocity of 8010
km/s, a peak flux density of 25 mJy and an isotropic luminosity of
40 MO (for an assumed distance of 110 Mpc)."
