Dave Balam, Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, National Research Council of Canada et. al. report that a spectrogram (range 369-700 nm, resolution 0.3 nm) obtained on 2013 July 19.29 UT with the 1.82-m Plaskett Telescope of the National Research Council of Canada, shows it to be a type-Ia supernova near maximum light. M. Dennefeld, Institut Astrophysique de Paris et. a., report that a spectrogram obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (+ ALFOSC) on 2013 also shows it to be a typical type-Ia supernova with strong Si 635.5-nm absorption.
