R. M. Quimby and M. M. Kasliwal, California Institute of Technology, report that spectroscopy (range 360-900 nm) of M31N 2008-11c obtained on Dec. 4.22 UT with the Double Beam Spectrograph on the Palomar Hale 5-m telescope reveals broad absorption features including the Si II 635.5-nm doublet, S II 545.4- and 564.0-nm, and Ca II H and K (among other features) – consistent with a normal type-Ia supernova near maximum light at an approximate redshift of z = 0.07 (i.e., well beyond M31). The supernova designation 2008hz is thus being assigned to this object.
