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 J00331954+0348174 = SN 2012F was obtained on Jan. 17.78 UT with the Ekar-Copernico 1.82-m telescope (+ AFOSC). The spectrum'S main feature is a strong He absorption measured at 586 nm. Using a library of supernova spectra via GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383; available at website URL https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi), they found a best fit with several type-Ib supernovae near maximum at a redshift of z about 0.03.
