SUPERNOVA 2010im
     M. Ergon, Stockholm University; S. Benetti and F. Bufano, Istituto
Nazionale di Astrofisica, Osservatorio di Padova; A. Pastorello, Queen's
University, Belfast; and J. Sollerman, Stockholm University, on behalf of
a larger collaboration, report that a spectrogram of 2010im (cf. CBET 2484),
obtained on Oct. 30.03 UT with the European Southern Observatory's New
Technology Telescope (+ EFOSC2; range 370-920 nm; resolution 2.8 nm) is
consistent with that of a type-Ia supernova about 50 days old at a redshift
of about 0.018.
