2011CBET.2837....2S

J. M. Silverman, S. B. Cenko, and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley, report that inspection of a CCD spectrum (range 340-1000 nm), obtained on Sept. 26 UT with the 10-m Keck I telescope (+ LRIS), shows that PSN J18294090+2304010 = SN 2011ge is a highly reddened type-II supernova. After removal of the host-galaxy recession velocity of 4000 km/s, determined from narrow emission features, the absorption minimum of the H-alpha line is found to be blueshifted by about 17200 km/s.
