2003IAUC.8057....2V

S. Valenti and E. Cappellaro, Universita di Napoli; S. Danese and G. Di Pede, Universita di Padova; and H. Navasardyan, A. Pastorello, S. Benetti, and M. Turatto, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Padova, report that inspection of a reduced spectrum (range 365-770 nm; resolution 2.3 nm), taken at the Asiago 1.82-m telescope (+ AFOSC) on Jan. 25.00 UT, shows that SN 2003L (cf. IAUC 8048) is of type Ic, a few days after maximum. The spectrum shows a relatively blue continuum and is dominated by strong P-Cyg lines of Ca II (H and K) and Fe II. A relatively weaker Si II 635.5-nm line is also visible. A low expansion velocity is derived from the Si II line (about 5900 km/s). The redshift of the galaxy at the supernova location, derived from a strong and narrow H-alpha emission superimposed on the supernova spectrum, is about 6720 km/s.
