This observation has been published in GCN 11253 circular.

THO research team photographed the afterglow 1./2.9.2010. The GRB100901A was so bright that the team managed to take a color (CBVR) picture from it. the exposure times were 12x300 sec.

At that time the team didn't notice any supernovae in the galaxy. Tom Boles phographed same galaxy 4.3.2010 and he saw a faint supernova (about 17 mag.) fairly long distance from the center of the galaxy. THO reasearch team photographed the supernova 6.3.2010 and it was very visible in photographed pictures. After this it turned out that the supernova was also visible in pictures taken 24./25.2.2010. It was only 18.5 magnitudes and therefore the discovery wasn't made by the THO research team. So the pictures taken 24./25.2.2010 were marked as prediscovery.

The confirmation was reported to the IAUC and it is mentioned in the discovery circular CBET 2162. The brightness of the supernova was at the time of the photographing about 5 magnitudes and it was locade quite near the center of the galaxy.

The supernova is located in the galaxy NGC 4214. The supernova was discovered by Koichi Itagaki team. The brightness of the SN 2010U was about 16.6CR magnitudes.

Due this, there are lot of areas where dust is condensed and where supernovae occurs. At the moment of this photograph there are two supernovae in the Arp299, SN 2010O and SN 2010P. The SN 2010P was discovered by researchers Seppo Mattila and Erkki Kankare by using the NOT-telescope. SN 2010P is only visible with the infrared wavelength and therefore it isn't "visible" in the first picture below that is taken by the THO research team by using the THO's 14" S-C-telescope. Instead the SN2010O is very visbile in the first picture below.

This discovery was made 15th of August from the galaxy UGC 8520. At the time of the discovery the supernova SN 2009iy was only 17.9R magnitudes bright. The confirmation pictures were taken by Arto Oksanen (Hankasalmi Observatory, Finland) 19th of August. The galaxy itself is type Scd galaxy and it is located about 350 million light years from the Earth.
