Why is it that these bastards can report an apparent supernova, but we
can't?
I move that we depose Dan Green. I'm sick of that guy.

SUPERNOVA 2004bx
D. Magee, B. Holden, R. Bouwens, and G. Illingworth,
University of California, Santa Cruz; J. Blakeslee and H. Ford,
Johns Hopkins University, and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)
Science Team report the discovery of an apparent supernova in the
galaxy cluster CL 1358+62, observed in exposures obtained with the
Hubble Space Telescope's ACS Wide Field Camera with the F850LP
filter (at m_AB = 26.3 +/- 0.2; 'AB' magnitudes are defined by Oke
1974, Ap.J. Suppl. 27, 21) on Apr. 6.82 UT, with the F775W filter
(at m_AB = 25.67 +/- 0.06) on Apr. 7.81, with the F850LP filter (at
m_AB = 26.5 +/- 0.3) on May 6.62, and with the F625W filter (at
m_AB = 25.60 +/- 0.05) on May 7.19. The new object is located at
R.A. = 13h59m51s.06, Decl. = +62o30'27".9 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 0".6 east and 0".5 north of the center of the brightest nearby
galaxy [having redshift 0.3174; cf. Fabricant et al. (1991, Ap.J.
831, 33)]. It is not clear if the nearby galaxy is the host galaxy
or if the new object may reside in a background galaxy. SN 2004bx
is not present in ACS observations from 2002 May 14 with the F775W
filter (5-sigma limiting m_AB 27.9) and with the F850LP filter
(5-sigma limiting m_AB 27.1).
