P. Ochner, S. Valenti, S. Benetti, A. Pastorello, and L. Tomasella, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova; and F. Bufano, INAF, Osservatorio Astronomico di Catania, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrum of SN 2011ha, obtained on Oct. 18.33 UT with the New Technology Telescope (+ EFOSC2; range 360-930 nm; resolution 1.8 nm), 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 10 days after its B-band maximum at a redshift z = 0.094. The expansion velocity derived from the Si II 635.5-nm minimum is then about 10600 km/s.
