SUPERNOVAE 1999F, 1999G, 1999H, 1999I
     A. Kim, College de France, Paris, on behalf of the EROS
collaboration, reports the discovery of four apparent supernovae
discovered in the course of their automated supernova search
conducted with the 1-m Marly telescope at the European Southern
Observatory, La Silla.  Finding charts can be found at
http://www.lal.in2p3.fr/EROS/SNe/Charts/.  All reference images
have limiting magnitudes near mag 22 and were also taken at the
Marly telescope.

SN      Date (UT)    R.A. (2000.0) Decl.      V      Offset
1999F   Jan. 12    11 27 15.05  -6 10 33.4   19.8:   6".6 W, 3".3 S
1999G   Jan. 12    11 15 39.13  -5 29 24.8   21.4:   2".4 E, 2".2 S
1999H   Jan. 14    10 07 03.06  -5 55 26.6   20.6:   1".0 E, 0".8 N
1999I   Jan. 15    10 49 58.09  -6 14 36.8   21.5:   2".2 E, 2".7 N

Spectroscopic observations on Jan. 17 with the New Technology
Telescope (+ EMMI) show that SN 1999F is a type-Ia supernova, about
1 week after maximum; the host galaxy redshift is 0.18.
Spectroscopic observations on Jan. 17 with the NTT show that SN
1999G is a type-Ia supernova at maximum; the host galaxy redshift
is 0.17.  SNe 1999F and 1999G were not seen on frames taken on 1997
Mar. 30.  Photometric confirmations of SNe 1999H and 1999I were
made on Jan. 18 at the Marly telescope.  SN 1999H was not seen in
an image taken on 1997 Mar. 29.  SN 1999I was not seen in an image
taken on 1997 Apr. 30.


SUPERNOVA 1999C IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     A. V. Filippenko, D. C. Leonard, and A. G. Riess, University
of California at Berkeley, report that a spectrum (range 510-880
nm) obtained on Jan. 20 UT with the Keck-II telescope reveals that
SN 1999C (cf. IAUC 7088) is of type Ia, about two weeks past
maximum brightness.  Its redshift is 0.125, which differs from that
of Abell 914 (0.195).
