A. V. Filippenko, J. M. Silverman, R. J. Foley, and M. Modjaz, University of California, Berkeley, have reported confirming spectroscopy of 2007my, obtained on the Keck 10-m telescope on Oct. 16 UT.

Castander, University of Barcelona; A. K. Romer, University of Sussex, C. Collins, Liverpool John Moores University; and J. Lucey and A. Edge, University of Durham, have reported confirming spectroscopy that was obtained at the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope on Oct. 16 and 17 by M. Smith and G. Leloudas for 2007ms, 2007mr, 2007mz, 2007nl, 2007nb, 2007nc, 2007mv, 2007ne, 2007nf, 2007ni, 2007nj, and 2007nk. R. Romani, C. Zheng, M. Sako, C. Wheeler, and D. Schneider, together with R. Bender and U. Hopp, University of Munich; and W. Kollatschny, University of Goettingen, have reported confirming spectroscopy obtained at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope on Oct. 15 and 17 for 2007mt, 2007mw, 2007mu, 2007nd, 2007ng, 2007nh, 2007mx, and 2007na. The discovery magnitudes tabulated below are all g magnitudes; spectroscopic redshifts are given in the column labelled z. Peak dates (all 2007) are approximate estimates either from fits to the early light curves or from the spectra, with a typical uncertainty of plus-or-minus several days; in cases where such estimates are either uncertain or very discrepant, they are not reported. Types marked with question marks (?) imply that the type identification based on the spectrum is uncertain. SN Discov. R.A. (2000.0) Decl.

Marriner and D. McGinnis (Fermilab), G. Miknaitis, A. Becker, J. Frieman, J. Holtzman, and A. Riess report that a spectrum taken with the ARC 3.5-m telescope on Oct. 16 shows that 2007md, originally reported on CBET 1102 as a type-Ic supernova, is in fact a type-II supernova.
