 SUPERNOVAE 2006Y AND 2006Z
     Two apparent supernovae have been reported:  2006Y by P.
 Luckas, O. Trondal, and M. Schwartz (cf. IAUC 8655; unfiltered CCD
 frames, 0.35-m Tenagra telescope at Perth) and 2006Z by the SDSS
 collaboration (found in spectra; communicated by M. SubbaRao,
 University of Chicago and Adler Planetarium; cf. IAUC 8513; r-band
 magnitude given below).

 SN      2006 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
 2006Y   Feb. 3.58    7 13 17.19  -51 41 18.8  17.7  1".7 W, 5".2 N
 2006Z   Feb. 1.51   13 44 58.07  +26 18 25.7  20.4      --

 Additional unfiltered magnitudes of 2006Y:  Jan. 27.59 UT, [18.5;
 Feb. 7.60, 17.3.  SN 2006Z, which appears to be a type-Ia supernova
 with an age of approximately -7 +/- 4 days after maximum light, is
 coincident with the center of the host galaxy (r = 17.0 from an
 image taken on 2004 June 12; z = 0.1232).

  SUPERNOVAE 2006Y AND 2006ai
       N. Morrell and G. Folatelli, on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova
  Project, report that spectroscopy (range 380-930 nm) of SN 2006Y (cf.
  IAUC 8668), obtained on Feb. 27.14 UT with the Las Campanas 2.5-m du
  Pont telescope (+ WFCCD spectrograph), showing it to be a type-II
  event, nearly one month after explosion.  A spectrum of the apparent
  nucleus of the host galaxy was also obtained, from which is derived a
  recession velocity of 10074 km/s (redshift 0.0336 +/- 0.0001).  From
  nebular emission lines superimposed on the supernova spectrum, a
  slightly different redshift of 0.0333 +/- 0.0001 is derived; using
  this value, an expansion velocity of 7650 km/s for this supernova is
  derived from the minimum of the H_beta absorption.  A redshift of
  0.0341 +/- 0.0002 was also measured for ESO 207-G27 (a galaxy located
  southeast of the supernova host).
       A spectrum of SN 2006ai (cf. IAUC 8674), obtained on Mar. 5.12 with
  the same instrumental configuration, shows it to be a type-II supernova,
  at least one month after explosion, for which an expansion velocity of
  8050 km/s is derived from the minimum of the H_beta absorption,
  considering a redshift of 7426 km/s (z = 0.0158 +/- 0.0001) measured
  from emission lines in the spectrum of the host galaxy.
