SUPERNOVA 2007pm IN UGC 11585
     J. M. Silverman and A. V. Filippenko, University of California,
Berkeley, report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 320-910 nm),
obtained on Dec. 12 UT with the Keck I 10-m telescope (+ LRIS), shows
that 2007pm (CBET 1133) is a type-II supernova.  Hydrogen Balmer lines
having P-Cyg profiles are present, although the emission component of
H-alpha greatly dominates over the main absorption component. Removing
a host-galaxy recession velocity of 6100 km/s, calculated from a narrow
spectral line, the minimum of the H-beta absorption is blueshifted by
about 4100 km/s.
