2010CBET.2346....1S

M. Stritzinger, Las Campanas Observatory and Dark Cosmology Centre, on behalf of the Millennium Center for Supernova Science, reports that he obtained an optical spectrum of supernova 2010ev (cf. CBET 2344) on June 30.9 UT with the Gemini South (+ GMOS) telescope. The spectrum reveals that 2010ev is a young type-Ia supernova. Comparison with a library of supernova spectra (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) suggests that this object is most similar to the normal supernovae 1992A and 2004eo several days or more before maximum light.
