A. Gal-Yam, D. Fox and S. Kulkarni, California Institute of Technology,
report on red spectra (range 550-780 nm) obtained by Kulkarni and Fox
on Aug. 13.5 UT at the 10-m Keck I telescope (+ LRIS). The spectrum of
of SN 2004ds (IAUC # 8386 ), shows a broad, well-developed P-Cyg
H_alpha line and suggests that this is a type II supernova.
The spectrum of SN 2004dt (IAUC # 8386 ), shows the distinctive Si II 6100
absorption trough around 6100 Angstrom, indicating this is a young SN Ia.
