"SUPERNOVA 1999gk IN NGC 4653
S. Jha, P. Garnavich, P. Challis, and R. Kirshner, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, report the serendipitous
discovery by P. Berlind of a supernova in NGC 4653, during the course of spectroscopic observations with the F. L. Whipple
Observatory (FLWO) 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST spectrograph). A spectrum of SN 1999gk, taken by Berlind on Dec. 15.53 UT, shows it
to be a type-II supernova just after maximum light. The spectrum exhibits a blue continuum with strong P-Cyg Balmer lines and Fe II
absorption. The H-alpha profile is quite peculiar, with the P-Cyg absorption showing two minima at expansion velocites of 16 100 and
8300 km/s, perhaps implying an asymmetric expansion and the possibility of strong polarization. Superimposed narrow H-alpha
emission yields a recession velocity of 2490 km/s for the host galaxy. Concurrent images, taken by C. Hergenrother with the FLWO
1.2-m telescope (+ 4Shooter), yield a precise position for the supernova of R.A. = 12h43m51s.91, Decl. = -0o32'55".4 (equinox
2000.0), which is 45".6 north and 15".3 east of the host galaxy, and magnitudes for the supernova V = 15.7 and R = 15.8.
Coincidentally, the supernova is in the Landolt standard star field SA104.
