S. Valenti, F. Bufano, 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 J02021902+1939396 = SN 2011gk, obtained by the Service Telescope Operator Team on Sept. 29.89 UT with the Ekar-Copernico 1.82-m telescope (+ AFOSC), is that of 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 about one month after the B-band maximum at a redshift of z = 0.044 (Giovanelli and Haynes 1993, A.J. 105, 1271; via the NED website).
