R. Quimby, University of Texas, reports that a spectrum (range 420-890 nm) of SN 2006cg (cf. CBET 509), obtained on May 17.28 UT with the 9.2-m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (+ Marcario Low-Resolution Spectrograph) by S. C. Odewahn and E. Terrazas, shows it to be a type-Ia supernova, similar to the spectrum of SN 1992A at 1 week past maximum light (Kirshner et al. 1993, Ap.J. 415, 589). Assuming a redshift of z = 0.028 (Rines et al. 2003, A.J. 126, 2152; via NED), the velocity measured from the minimum of the Si II 635.5-nm feature is 11300 km/s.
