2010CBET.2517....1C

P. Challis and H. Marion, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, reports that spectroscopic observations (range 360-760 nm) of 2010iz (cf. CBET 2510), obtained on Oct. 30 UT by M. Calkins with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST), show that 2010iz is a type-II supernova. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) indicates that 2010iz is a type-IIP supernova at about two weeks past maximum light.
