N. Morrell and G. Folatelli, on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova Project, report that spectroscopy (range 380-930 nm) of SN 2006Y (cf. IAUC 8668), obtained on Feb. 27.14 UT with the Las Campanas 2.5-m du Pont telescope (+ WFCCD spectrograph), showing it to be a type-II event, nearly one month after explosion. A spectrum of the apparent nucleus of the host galaxy was also obtained, from which is derived a recession velocity of 10074 km/s (redshift 0.0336 ± 0.0001). From nebular emission lines superimposed on the supernova spectrum, a slightly different redshift of 0.0333 ± 0.0001 is derived; using this value, an expansion velocity of 7650 km/s for this supernova is derived from the minimum of the H_beta absorption. A redshift of 0.0341 ± 0.0002 was also measured for ESO 207-G27 (a galaxy located southeast of the supernova host).
