>    K. Sarneczky, Konkoly Observatory; J. Vinko, University of Szeged; and
> J. C. Wheeler, University of Texas, report the discovery of a supernova (mag
> about 20) on a 22.5-min co-added unfiltered CCD image (limiting mag 21.5)
> taken on Mar. 15.83 UT with the 0.60-m Schmidt telescope at Konkoly
> Observatory at Piszkesteto, Hungary.  The new object is located at R.A. =
> 8h43m32s.32, Decl. = +32d00´17".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 1" west
> and 1" north of the center of the presumed host galaxy, SDSS
> J084332.35+320016.4 (whose r magnitude is 20.65).  The variable was designated
> PSN J08433232+3200172 when it was posted at the Central Bureau´s TOCP webpage
> and is here designated SN 2012bj based on the spectroscopic confirmation
> reported below.  Additional CCD magnitudes for 2012bj:  2011 Mar. 24, [22
> (Sarneczky et al.; co-added 37.5-min reference image); 2012 Mar. 22.79, R =
> 20.7 +/- 0.5 (Sarneczky, T. Szalai, A. Szing, and J. Vinko; 1-m RCC telescope
> at Piszkesteto); 23.286, 20.6 (Joseph Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia; remotely
> using a 51-cm RCOS telescope + STL11K camera + luminance filter at the New
> Mexico Skies Observatory near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A.; position end figures
> 32s.32, 16".4).  Brimacombe has posted his image at the following website URL:

>     Sarneczky et al. add that a spectrogram obtained on Mar. 23.25 UT with
> the 9.2-m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (+ Marcario Low-Resolution Spectrograph) by
> S. Rostopchin shows that PSN J08433232+3200172 = 2012bj is a peculiar type-Ia
> supernova a few days before maximum.  According to SNID (Blondin and Tonry
> 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024), the spectrum most resembles that of SN 2000cx at -4
> days relative to B-band maximum light.  The most prominent broad features are
> Fe III 440.4-nm and 512.9-nm, while the Si II 635.5-nm feature is weak.  The
> median redshift estimate is z = 0.167.  Adopting this redshift, the magnitude
> estimate above corresponds to absolute magnitude -18.5, which is consistent
> with the pre-maximum light curve of a supernova-2000cx-like event.
