2009CBET.1884....2M

N. Morrell, on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova Project, reports that inpection of a spectrum (range 360-680 nm) of SN 2009hm, obtained on July 24.42 UT with the Boller and Chivens spectrograph attached to the 2.5-m Las Campanas du Pont telescope, reveals that this is a type Ib supernova. Assuming for the host galaxy NGC 7083 the NED recession velocity of 3101 km/s (Koribalski et al. 2004, Astron. J. 128, 16), the supernova identification code (SNID, Blondin and Tonry 2007, Astrophys. J. 666, 1024) provides a very good match to the spectrum of SN 2005bf (cf. IAUC 8507, 8509, 8520-8522) at 6 days after maximum.
