 6 Supernova in Mrk 842 On July 12, 2014 at the Columbus Astronomical Society meeting OSU researcher Dr. K. Stanek gave a presentation about the All Sky Survey project named ASAS-SN. After the meeting Dr. Stanek and I talked and I offered my assistance to collaborate on the project. I never thought that results would materialize this quickly! Three days after the CAS meeting I received a request from Dr. Stanek to check a transient event that they had detected with their equipment in Hawaii. It happened to be clear that night so I went to the Hut and took a few 300 sec and 600 sec images. When I looked at the first 300 sec image the supernova was very evident! I quickly "processed" the image with PixInsight by just stretching it and sent it over. This image provided confirmation of a supernova in Mrk 842 a distant galaxy near the constellation of Bootes! Here is the Astronomer's Telegram: http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=6318 with my name as the second. :) Science! |
 7 Another supernova co-discovery! This is my second supernova confirmation as part of the ASAS-SN team. On the evening of July 24 I was able to image this supernova that just appeared in a very faint galaxy between the constellation of Bootes and the Big Dipper asterism. |
 8 On August 16, 2014 I got credited for discovering another supernova! This has been designated as ASASSN-14fo and is in a tiny galaxy located in the constellation of Aquila (The Eagle). That Friday night as soon as it got dark I checked on a transient near Arcturus that was reported earlier but very quickly was evident that there was nothing there. When I was sending the email telling of the negative detection I saw that a new transient had been detected. I immediately checked if it was above the horizon and it was! I took an image and the SN was quite evident. I sent and email with a screen shot and nabbed the discovery! :) Just 8 minutes later another amateur astronomer from France posted his email. That was really close! Here's the discovery ATel: http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=6397 |
