SUPERNOVA 2010ix IN PGC 3583
     P. Challis and H. Marion, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
(CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, reports that spectroscopy (range
360-760 nm) of 2010ix (cf. CBET 2506), obtained on Oct. 31 UT by M. Calkins
with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST), shows that 2010ix
is a type-Ia supernova.  Cross-correlation with a library of supernova
spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry
2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) indicates that 2010ix is a normal type-Ia event at
about two weeks past maximum light.
