Kessler, Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, Chicago; and C. Baltay, D. Rabinowitz, and A. Bauer, Yale University) reports that a spectrum (range 320-1000 nm) of SN 2005ec (cf. CBET 228), obtained Sept. 21.6 UT with the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope, shows it to be a type-Ia supernova at an age of two weeks after maximum and at a redshift of z = 0.03, in agreement with the host redshift (NGC 1690; Ostriker et al. 1988, A.J. 96, 1775). The spectrum is similar to that of SN 1994D at this phase, shifted to the host's redshift.
