Notes:

(1) All fluxes are the difference in the measured flux between the reference and detection scans inside an aperture radius of 1.5 pixels. This was then corrected to 1.0 FWHM of the  PSF in the detection scan using an aperture correction determine from field stars. A  correction was also made for the extinction of the detection scanrelative to the  reference scan. In all but a few cases the extinction correction was small (<0.02 mags). The exceptions were:

s2004-022:  there was a large correction (-2.3 mags in B) on both detection nights (20040518 and 20040520) relative to the reference scan (20040421). This indicates  that the depth of the reference scan was significantly diminished by clouds.

The night of 20040524: there was ~0.1 to 0.2 mags of extinctions for all detections.

(2) In the table below, the magnitudes are Johnson/Cousins calibrated against Sloan  standards after converting from Sloan to Johnson using Sloan's published conversion terms. For s2004-017 and s2004-018 these are the actual calibrations. For the other supernovae, the calibrations had to be assumed because no calibration information was available for the CCDs used for the detection (columns 7 and 12). The assumed zero-points corrections (measured for column 4) are 2.4, 1.9 , 2.4, and -1.7 mags for R, I, B, and U respectively (added to 25.0-2.5*log(flux in adu)).

(3) Where the measured flux was negative or zero, "nan" appears in the table. If the object was not observed in a particular filter, then "-" appears.

(4) s2004-019 had no measurable flux in R, and s2004-020, s2004-21, and s2004-022 were barely measureable.

(5) All measurements on 20040530 are suspect owing to bright moonlight and saturated images
