Kessler, Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, Chicago; and C. Baltay, D. Rabinowitz, and A. Bauer, Yale University) reports the discovery of a supernova (mag approximately 19.9, calibrated to R) on NEAT images (cf. CBET 263) taken on Feb. 24.5 UT. SN 2006as is located at R.A. = 13h51m24s.88, Decl. = -11o15'26".8 (equinox 2000.0). A spectrogram (range 320-1000 nm), taken with the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS) on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope on Mar. 7.7 UT, reveals 2006as to be a type-Ia supernova, similar to the spectrum of SN 1990N when about three weeks past maximum light, at a redshift of z = 0.1.
