Zheng, SU, 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. B. Bassett, K. van der Heyden, and P. Vaisanen, SAAO, report that a spectrum of 2006ff taken with the South African Large Telescope on Sept. 15 UT shows it to be a type-Ia event. A. Aragon-Salamanca, University of Nottingham; M. Bremer, University of Bristol; M. Turatto, University of Padova; A. Goobar, University of Stockholm; J. Sollerman, University of Copenhagen; P. Ruiz-Lapuente and F. Castander, University of Barcelona; A. Romer, University of Sussex; C. Collins, Liverpool John Moores University; and J. Lucey and A. Edge, University of Durham, report that spectroscopy obtained by R. Nichol and M. Smith on Sept. 15 and 16 with the European Southern Observatory 3.6-m New Technology Telescope (NTT) shows eight of the other new supernovae to be type-Ia events, while SN 2006fg is a type-II event, and the type of SN 2006fe is not yet determined. N. Yasuda reports that three of the objects – 2006fk, 2006fm, and 2006fi – were confirmed as type-Ia events on the same nights as the NTT observations via the Subaru 8-m telescope. The discovery magnitudes tabulated below are all g magnitudes, and the 2006 discovery dates are UT. Spectroscopic redshifts are given in the column labelled z. Esimated peak g magnitudes and corresponding dates (all 2006) are estimates from early fits to the multi-band light curves. -----------------------------------------------------------------------— SN Discov.
