2003IAUC.8069....1F

Five additional apparent supernovae have been discovered, as tabulated below. SNe 2003aj, 2003ak, and 2003al were reported by H. C. Ferguson, Space Telescope Science Institute, on behalf of the GOODS Treasury Team (+ K. S. Lee) and the Hubble Higher-z Supernova Team (cf. IAUC 8038), from images of the Chandra Deep Field South, each object detected by subtracting images taken on 2002 July 31- Aug. 4, Oct. 31-Nov. 3, and Dec. 19-22 from ACS images taken on Feb. 1-5, with each new object detected independently in each of four separate z-band (F850LP) exposures, and their z-band magnitudes tabulated below. SNe 2003am and 2003an were LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 8068) discoveries, reported by D. Weisz and W. Li from unfiltered KAIT images. SN 2003 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag.

Additional approximate magnitude estimates: SN 2003am in ESO 576-G40, 2002 Jan. 12.3, [19.0; 2003 Feb. 10.4, 17.7. SN 2003an in MCG +05-32-22, Jan. 18.5, [18.5; Feb. 10.4, 17.0. SN 1997br also occurred in ESO 576-G40.
