2004IAUC.8434....2S

M. Salvo, B. Schmidt and M. Bessell, the Australian National University (ANU), report that a spectrogram (range 350-530 nm) of SN 2004fx (cf. IAUC 8431), obtained with the ANU 2.3-m telescope (+ Double-Beam Spectrograph) at Siding Spring on Nov. 8.54 UT, shows the P-Cyg lines of H_beta, H_gamma, and H_delta typical of a type- II supernova approximately 2 weeks after explosion. The expansion velocity derived from the Fe II 5169 line, also visible in the spectrum, is 6600 km/s, after correcting for the NED recession velocity of the host galaxy.
