G. H. Marion, P. Challis, and S. Meyer Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, report that a spectrum (range 340-740 nm) of 2010jo was obtained on Nov. 10 UT by P. Berlind with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST). Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) shows that the object is a type-Ia supernova near maximum light. The velocity of the Si II 635.5-nm feature, measured at the absorption minimum, is 14200 km/s.
