SUPERNOVA 2007nm
     Further to CBET 1105, R. C. Thomas writes that the same authors
(S. G. Djorgovski et al.) report a revised classification of 2007nm:
Using spectra obtained with the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph on
the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope, the "Nearby Supernova Factory"
collaboration has observed that a strong Si II 635.5-nm feature has not
developed, and that the spectrum is more similar to that of a type-Ic
supernova at an approximate redshift of z = 0.04.
