2006IAUC.8720....1L

Five new apparent supernovae found on unfiltered CCD frames have been reported: 2006cs by N. Y. Lee and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8716); 2006ct by R. Quimby and P. Mondol (cf. IAUC 8713); and the rest by the 'Nearby Supernova Factory' collaboration (cf. CBETs 538, 540). SN 2006 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag. Offset 2006cs June 3.29 13 45 33.89 +35 36 36.6 17.8 13".4 W, 3".8 S 2006ct May 25.21 12 09 57.03 +47 05 43.9 17.0 3".4 E, 1".4 S 2006cu May 29.4 14 47 43.31 + 9 39 33.9 18.1 – 2006cv June 5.4 14 47 47.83 +23 17 58.6 19.1 – 2006cw June 5.4 15 03 01.01 +21 41 40.6 19.4 – Additional magnitudes for 2006cs in MCG +06-30-79: May 18.29 UT, [19.0; June 4.31, 17.7. A spectogram of 2006cs obtained on June 5.29 shows it to be a type-Ia supernova around maximum light (details on CBET 539). Additional magnitudes for 2006ct, which is also a type-Ia supernova (details on CBET 537): 2004 Dec. 15-2006 Jan. 28, [18.7 (co-addition of images); May 31.21, 16.9; June 3.19, 16.6. SNe 2006cu and 2006cv are type-IIn supernovae, and 2006cw is a type-II supernova (cf. CBET 538, 540).
