N. Morrell and G. Folatelli, on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova Project, report that a spectrogram (range 380-920 nm) of SN 2006hb, obtained on Sept. 28.22 UT with the WFCCD spectrograph attached to the 2.5-m du Pont telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, reveals that it is a type-Ia supernova, similar to the subluminous supernova 1986G around maximum light. Assuming a recesion velocity of 4600 km/s for the host galaxy from NED (cf. Da Costa et al. 1991, Ap.J. Suppl. 75, 935), an expansion velocity of 10350 km/s was derived from the absorption minimum of the Si II 635.5-nm feature.
