[BAA-ebulletin 00605] Observations of SN2011fe in M101

[BAA electronic bulletins service]

The BAA has received the following request from members of the Palomar
Transient Factory (PTF) following their discovery of the supernova 2011fe
in M101.


The PTF team is requesting help from people who observed the galaxy M101
between the dates August 22 and August 24, 2011. We have discovered a new
SN in M101 (PTF11kly / SN 2011fe) in this galaxy on August 24, and images
of the galaxy recorded during these nights may help establish the exact time
of the SN explosion and its early evolution. People who may have useful data
are encouraged to contact us by sending an email to ptf11kly at gmail.com.
