SUPERNOVA 2010jq
     G. Folatelli, IPMU, University of Tokyo; J. Anderson, Universidad
de Chile; and G. Pignata, Universidad Andres Bello, on behalf of the
Millennium Center for Supernova Science, report on an optical spectrogram
(range 355-896 nm) of 2010jq (cf. CBET 2544) obtained on Nov. 17.29 UT with
the SOAR telescope (+ Goodman HTS).  The spectrum shows 2010jq to be an
evolved type-Ia supernova, between two and three months after maximum light.
Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova
Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024)
provides good matches with spectra of SN 2003du at +72 and +84 days.
