Scientific paper

We report the discovery of an extragalactic classical nova in the field near NGC 4258 by the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. The transient (ID: PS1-1000254) was discovered at g=20.9 mag on 2010 June 3.30 UT at the position: (J2000) 12:20:55.217 +46:49:55.52 The object did not have a clear association with a host galaxy and rapidly faded to g=22.4 mag by 2010 June 6.35. A pre-outburst observation on June 1.34 had a 5-sigma upper limit of i=23.1 mag.
