SUPERNOVA 2010ie IN NGC 2333
     P. Challis and G. H. Marion, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
(CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, report that a spectrum (range
340-740 nm) of 2010ie (cf. CBET 2468) was obtained on Oct. 2 UT by S. Willner
with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST).  Cross-
correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova
Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) shows
that 2010ie is a type-IIp supernova about two weeks past maximum light.  The
spectrum displays prominent P-Cyg features from the Balmer lines, and the
velocity of H-alpha (measured at the absorption minimum) is 8200 km/s.
