Scientific paper

The Nearby Supernova Factory reports that a spectrum (range 340-1000 nm) of SN 2005al (IAUC #8488), obtained Feb 28.54 UT with the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope, shows it to be a type Ia SN, most likely near maximum light. Assuming a host redshift of z =0.0124 from NED, the Si II 635.5 nm minimum is at approximately 11,000 km/s, and the Ca II infrared triplet absorption extends to a high velocity of 22,500 km/s.
