Turatto, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, report that a spectrum (range 360-810 nm; resolution 2.2 nm) of PSN J14595904+0153251 = SN 2012P was obtained on Jan. 23.17 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 via https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi), they found a best match with typical type-Ib/c supernovae soon after maximum if a redshift of z = 0.004533 (Falco et al. 1999, PASP 111, 438; via NED) is assumed. From the minimum of a deep-intense absorption measured at 627.6 nm, an expansion velocity of about 5100 km/s is deduced for the ejecta if identified with Si II 635.5-nm (but an expansion velocity of about 14400 km/s if identified with H-alpha).
