Scientific paper

On 2010 April 16.393 UT, the Palomar Transient Factory discovered an optical transient, PTF10fqs at RA(J2000) = 12:18:50.16 and DEC(J2000) = +14:26:39.2. This is offset from the nucleus of M99 by 8.1"E, 99.9"N. At the distance of M99, R=20.1 corresponds to an absolute magnitude of M_R = -11.0. There are no previous detections in imaging taken on and prior to April 10 UT.
