A. Aragon-Salamanca (University of Nottingham), M. Bremer (University of Bristol), M. Turatto (University of Padova), A. Goobar, R. Nichol, J. Sollerman, P. Ruiz-Lapuente (University of Barcelona), F. Castander (ICE/CSIC, Barcelona), A. K. Romer (University of Sussex), C. Collins (Liverpool John Moores University), and J. Lucey and A. Edge (University of Durham) report confirming spectroscopy that was obtained at the European Southern Observatory's 3.6-m New Technology Telescope on Nov. 13 and 14 UT for 2007qf, 2007qg, 2007qh, 2007qi, 2007qj, 2007ql, 2007qo, 2007qp, 2007qs, 2007qx, and 2007qy by M. Smith and H. Lampeitl. J. Marriner, D. McGinnis (Fermilab), G. Miknaitis, A. Becker, J. Frieman, J. Holtzman, and A. Riess report confirming spectroscopy of 2007qm and 2007qw that was obtained at the ARC 3.5-m telescope on Nov. 12. R. Romani, C. Zheng, M. Sako, C. Wheeler, D. Schneider, and R. Bender, together with U. Hopp (University of Munich) and W. Kollatschny (University of Goettingen), report confirming spectroscopy that was obtained at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope on Nov. 12 and 13 for 2007qt, 2007qk, 2007qn, and 2007qq. L. Watson (OSU) and J. Prieto report confirming spectroscopy for 2007qr and 2007qv that was obtained at the Hiltner 2.4-m telescope at MDM Observatory on the night of Nov. 11. J. M. Silverman, A. V. Filippenko, and R. J. Foley (University of California, Berkeley) report confirming spectroscopy for 2007qu that was obtained at the Keck I telescope on Nov. 12. M. Stritzinger and J. Sollerman report confirming spectroscopy for 2007ra that was obtained by G. Leloudas and J. Sollerman at the Nordic Optical Telescope on Nov. 13; the host galaxy for this event contains an active galactic nucleus. 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.
