S. Vanni, A. Pastorello, S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro, P. Ochner, L. Tomasella, and M. Turatto, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, report that optical spectroscopy (range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.3 nm), obtained on Nov. 8.18 UT with the Asiago 1.82-m Copernico Telescope (+ AFOSC), shows that PSN J13144705+5405055 = SN 2012ge is a type-Ia supernova at a redshift z about 0.033 (assumed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3). The best match for 2012ge was found with the type-Ia supernova 2002bo (Benetti et al. 2004, MNRAS 348, 261) about 3-4 weeks after its B-band maximum light. The Asiago classification spectra are posted at website URL http://graspa.oapd.inaf.it; classification was made via GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383) and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024).
