SUPERNOVA 2009nb
     M. Stritzinger, Las Campanas Observatory; G. Folatelli, Universidad de
Chile; and G. Pignata, Universidad Andres Bello, on behalf of the Millennium
Center for Supernova Science, report that they obtained an optical spectrum
of 2009nb (cf. CBET 2099) on Jan. 12.2 UT with the Gemini (+ GMOS) telescope.
The spectrum reveals that the object is a type-IIP supernova around a month
or more past explosion.
