2005IAUC.8482....3F

R. J. Foley and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley, report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 500-1000 nm), obtained on Feb. 11 UT with the Keck II 10-m telescope (+ DEIMOS), shows that SN 2005R (IAUC 8473) is of type IIn; the broad H_alpha emission line has a full-width-at-half-maximum of about 2400 km/s. SN 2005X (IAUC 8476) is of type Ia, about 2 weeks past maximum brightness; the redshift of its host galaxy is measured to be z = 0.0745. SN 2005Y (IAUC 8476) is of type II, showing a prominent H_alpha P-Cyg profile. After removing the host-galaxy recession velocity of 4900 km/s (from NED), the minimum of the broad H_alpha absorption is measured to be -7400 km/s relative to its rest wavelength.
