2008CBET.1447....1S

J. M. Silverman, C. V. Griffith, A. V. Filippenko, R. Chornock, and W. Li, University of California, Berkeley, report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 330-1030 nm), obtained on July 26 UT with the Shane 3-m reflector (+ Kast spectrograph) at Lick Observatory, shows that 2008dv (CBET 1425) is a type-Ic supernova roughly two months past maximum brightness; the spectrum resembles that of SN 2007iq (CBET 1101). SN 2008dz (CBET 1430) is a type-II supernova; removing a recession velocity of 8100 km/s (from narrow emission lines), the minimum of the H-alpha absorption is blueshifted by about 7800 km/s. SN 2008ee (CBET 1440) is a type-Ia supernova, nearly two months past maximum.
