2009CBET.1854....1C

P. Challis, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, reports that a spectrum (range 360-750 nm) of 2009gh (cf. CBET 1850), obtained on June 20 UT by M. Calkins with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST), shows it to be a type-IIP supernova. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) indicates that the spectrum of 2009gh best resembles that of the type-IIP supernova 2004et at two weeks after maximum brightness.
