SUPERNOVA 2010jc IN NGC 1033
     D. Milisavljevic and R. Fesen, Dartmouth College, report that a
low-dispersion spectrum (range 450-750 nm), taken on Oct. 31 UT with the
2.4-m Hiltner telescope (+ MKIII) at MDM Observatory following posting on
the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage, shows that 2010jc (cf.
CBET 2521) is a type-IIP supernova just after maximum light.  Comparison with
a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" tool (SNID;
Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J., 666, 1024) provides good matches with type-IIP
events such as SN 2005cs at three days after maximum.
