N. Suntzeff, Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO), reports that spectrophotometry (range 310-950 nm; resolution 400) of SN 2004S (cf. IAUC 8282) was obtained by A. Globus, L. Galli, A. Whiting, and L. Schmidtobreick at the CTIO 1.5-m telescope (+ facility spectrograph) on Feb. 6.1 UT. The spectrum of the supernova is that of a type-Ia event, around 5 days after maximum light. The expansion velocity (relative to the galaxy redshift of 2731 km/s) of the Si II 635.5-nm absorption line is about 9300 km/s.
