R. Chornock, S. Jha, and A. V. Filippenko, University of California at Berkeley; and B. Barris, University of Hawaii, report that inspection of a spectrum (range 400-1000 nm), obtained on Nov. 2.4 UT with the Keck II 10-m telescope (+ ESI), reveals that SN 2002hj (cf. IAUC 8006) is a supernova of type II. Well-developed P-Cyg lines of the H Balmer series, Fe II, O I, and Ca II are present on a blue continuum. Narrow H-alpha emission from the host galaxy at the position of the supernova is present at a redshift of 7090 km/s. The absorption minimum of H-beta has an expansion velocity of 8900 km/s.
