Takanashi and K. Tokita, UoT; K. van der Heyden, SAAO; S. Watters, APO; N. Yasuda, UoT; and C. Zheng, SU, on behalf of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II collaboration, report the discovery of a new supernova (at g magnitude approximately 18.2) on g, r, and i images taken with the SDSS 2.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory by the SDSS observing team on Sept. 16 UT. The new object is located at R.A. = 2h32m38s.89, Decl. = +0o37'03".0 (equinox 2000.0). Nothing was present at this location on a co-added template from images acquired over the years 2000-2004 (limiting mag g > 20). A confirming image and spectroscopy of 2006fo was obtained by R. Nichol and M. Smith on Sept. 17 with the European Southern Observatory 3.6-m New Technology Telescope; the spectrum shows the characteristic Si II feature consistent with a type-Ia supernova approximately 1 week after maximum light, although 2006fo appears to be very underluminous for a type-Ia supernova at that epoch. The nearby host spiral galaxy, with centroid position R.A. = 2h32m39s.29, Decl. = +0o37'02".4, has a prior SDSS spectrum indicating a redshift of 0.02.
