Reichart, K. Ivarsen, J. Haislip, A. Crain, D. Foster, M. Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 17.8 ± 0.5) on an unfiltered image taken on Jan. 20.18 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 5' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object (which was designated PSN J05513518-5902513 on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and which is also present at mag approximately 17.3 in an image taken on Jan. 21.05) is located at R.A. = 05:51:35.18 ± 0".2, Decl. = -59:02:51.3 ± 0".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 0".6 west and 7".4 south of the center of the galaxy ESO 120-16. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on 2010 Dec. 20.27 and 2011 Jan. 12.07 (limiting mag 18.5).
