D. Van Buren, T. Jarrett, S. Terebey, and C. Beichman, Infrared
Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology
and Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and M. Shure and C. Kaminski, NASA
Infrared Telescope Facility, Institute for Astronomy, University of
Hawaii, report their discovery of an apparent supernova in NGC 3690
(= Markarian 171) at R.A. = 11h25m42s.0, Decl. = +58o50'10" (equinox
1950.0) on archival images taken in the K (2.2-micron) band as part
of a search for supernovae in starburst galaxies. Offsets from Core
B1 (cf. Wynn-Williams et al. 1991, Ap.J. 377, 426) of the galaxy are
5" east and 3" south. The object appears in ProtoCam data (obtained
at the IRTF, Mauna Kea) for 1992 Mar. 9 UT (when K = 16.6 +/- 0.2),
Apr. 10 (17.2 +/- 0.3), and May 6 (18.1 +/- 0.5). It does not
appear to limiting magnitude K about 19 in NSFCam IRTF images from
1993 Dec 27.
