F. Bufano, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Catania; and S. Valenti and A. Pastorello, INAF, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrum of PSN J04210999+1328044 = SN 2011gs, obtained on Oct. 1.95 UT with the Ekar-Copernico 1.82-m telescope (+ AFOSC), shows it to be a type-Ia supernova. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) suggests a normal type-Ia supernova about 30 after its B-band maximum (the deduced redshift is 0.027).
