M. Salvo, B. Schmidt, T. Davis, and S. Sankarankutty, Australian National University (ANU), report that a spectrogram (range 350-900 nm), obtained with the ANU 2.3-m telescope (+ Double-Beam Spectrograph) on Aug. 15.40 UT, shows SN 2005dh (IAUC 8583) to be a type-Ia supernova near maximum light; adopting the NED recession velocity for the host galaxy (from the RC3 Catalogue) the expansion velocity of the Si II 635.5-nm line is around 16600 km/s. A spectrogram (range 340-900 nm), obtained on Aug. 16.70, shows SN 2005dg (IAUC 8581) to be a type-Ic supernova a few days past maximum light.
