L. Tomasella, E., Cappellaro, P. Ochner, S. Benetti, A. Pastorello, and S. Valenti, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, report that a spectrum (range 360-810 nm; resolution 2.2 nm) of PSN J02332279+0935056 = SN 2012E was obtained on Jan. 17.83 UT with the Ekar-Copernico 1.82-m telescope (+ AFOSC). Using a library of supernova spectra via GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383; available at URL https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi), they found a best fit with a normal type-Ia supernova few days before maximum. Allowing for a galaxy redshift z = 0.02 (de Vaucouleurs et al. 1991, RC3 catalogue; via NED), the expansion velocity measured from the deep Si feature is 12500 km/s.
