SUPERNOVA 2013dl IN PGC 4701
     C. S. Kochanek, B. J. Shappee, K. Z. Stanek, J. Jencson, U. Basu, and
J. F. Beacom, Ohio State University; J. L. Prieto, Princeton University; D.
Szczygiel and G. Pojmanski, (Warsaw University Observatory; and M. Dubberley,
M. Elphick, S. Foale, E. Hawkins, D. Mullens, W. Rosing, R. Ross, and Z.
Walker, Las Cumbres Observatory, report their discovery of an apparent
supernova (magnitude V = 15.2) on two images obtained on June 17.61 UT during
the ongoing All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) using data from
the double 14-cm "Brutus" telescope at Haleakala, HI.  The new object is
located at R.A. = 1h18m41s.76, Decl. = -7d26'39".7 (equinox 2000.0), which is
approximately 23" northwest of the face-on spiral galaxy PGC 4701.  Nothing is
visible at this position in the last prior image from Feb. 4 (V > 17) or on
earlier images.  Discovery images have been posted at the following website

     David Sand, Texas Tech University, reports on spectroscopy of 2013dl
obtained on June 21.80 UT with the FLOYDS spectrograph at the "Faulkes
Telescope South" at Siding Spring, showing that 2013dl is a type-Ia supernova
within a couple days of maximum light, with a redshift consistent with the
apparent host galaxy, which is at z = 0.01775 (Da Costa et al. 1998, A.J. 116,
1).  Classification was performed via the SNID cross-correlation software
package.
