2011CBET.2639....1C

S. B. Cenko, W. Li, University of California, Berkeley, F. Bian, and N. Smith, University of Arizona, report that inspection of a CCD spectrum (range 350-800 nm), obtained on Jan. 12 UT with the Blue Spectrograph mounted on the 6.5-m MMT, reveals that SN 2010kv (CBET 2596) is a type-II supernova. Cross- correlation with a library of supernova spectra (using the "SuperNova IDentification" code; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) indicates that 2010kv most closely resembles the type-IIP supernova 2006bp at several months past maximum light.
