Scientific paper

CCD UBVRI photometry is presented for type IIn SN 2005kd. The maximum
luminosity exceeded Mv=-19.8, and SN remained brighter than -18 mag for about
400 days. While overall photometric evolution is quite similar to SN 1997cy, SN
2005kd shows a plateau at phases between 119 and 311 days past explosion, which
is a unique feature for SN IIn.
