A. V. Filippenko and R. Chornock, University of California, Berkeley, communicate: "Inspection of CCD spectra (range 310-1000 nm) obtained on Nov. 11 UT with the Keck I 10-m telescope (+ LRIS) shows that the object is of type Ia, close to maximum brightness. Relative to the Si II 615-nm absorption line, the Si II/Ti II 580-nm absorption is stronger than normal, suggesting that the object might be somewhat subluminous."
