N. Morrell, Las Campanas Observatory, on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova Project, reports that optical spectroscopy (range 430-1000 nm), obtained on 2012 Jan. 16 UT with the 6.5-m Magellan I (Baade) telescope (+ IMACS), shows that PSN J04464170-6228022 = SN 2011jz is a somewhat-evolved type-II supernova. Comparison with a library of supernova spectra via the Supernova Identification tool (SNID; Blondin and Tonry, 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) suggests that 2011jz is most similar to the type-II-P supernova 2004dj at 36 days past maximum light.
