Uday K. Gurugubelli, D. K. Sahu, G. C. Anupama, P. Anto, and S. Arora, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, report that a low-resolution spectrum (range 350-750 nm) of 2011T, obtained on Jan. 31.98 UT with the Indian Astronomical Observatory's 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (+ HFOSC), shows it to be a normal type-Ia supernova, about a month after maximum light. Using the SNID code of Blondin and Tonry (2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024), the spectrum of 2011T is found to best match that of SN 1994D at about 40 days after maximum light.
