S. Valenti, S. Benetti, L. Tomasella, and P. Ochner, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica; and A. Pastorello, Dipartimento di Astronomia, Universita di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrogram (range 360-810 nm; resolution 2.2 nm) of PSN J21122427-0748521 = SN 2011gf, obtained on Sept. 25.90 UT, suggestss that it is a type-Ia supernova. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra via the "GELATO" code (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383; available at URL https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi), suggest a normal type-Ia supernova close to the B-band maximum at a redshift of z = 0.0277 (Sloan Digital Sky Survey, via the NED website). The expansion velocity deduced from the Si II 635.5-nm minimum is about 11100 km/s.
