R. J. Foley, M. Papenkova, R. Chornock, W. D. Li, S. Jha, and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley, report that spectra (range 310-1000 nm), obtained on Dec. 12 UT with the Shane 3-m telescope at Lick Observatory, show this to be a supernova of type Ia, about 3 weeks past maximum light. The continuum is redder than that of SN 1994D at a similar epoch, possibly indicating that the object is significantly extinguished by dust.
