Imaging of a transient and variable source - a radio supernova - in a blue compact dwarf galaxy

Abstract for MTS:
Broadband imaging in VRI (FORS2) of a radio supernova (RSN) in SBS0335-052. The V and R total exposures are divided into two positions/offsets, and the I-band exposures into four positions/offsets; please check that these on-chip exposure times are sufficiently long to be in the background-limited performance regime, given that the source is transient and variable. Time-Critical Aspects ===================== We need the imaging observations to be relatively close in time because of the transient and variable nature of the source (radio supernova). Finding charts ====================== The general FOV is indicated in the finding chart "sbs0335_hst_chart.jpg"; the image is HST/WFPC2 (F790W), and the source is marked with a red arrow. An enlarged finding chart with astrometric coordinates is also attached , i.e. "rsn_7mm_hst.jpg", which shows the 7mm VLA detection overlaid on a subsection of the HST/F790W image.
