The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic classification of PSN J02090990+3159515 in the galaxy UGC 1641, discovered by P. Campaner (ISSP).
Informations on this transient are available from the "Bright Supernova" website (http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/snimages/) and the CBAT Transient Object Followup Reports (http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/index.html). The observation was performed with the Asiago 1.82 m Copernico Telescope (+AFOSC; range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm).

(1) The spectrum shows P-Cygni lines of H, Fe II and Na I, typically observed in Type II SNe during the H recombination phase. However, these lines in PSN J02090990+3159515 are very narrow. The expansion velocity of the ejecta is very low, when compared e.g. with the low-velocity Type IIP SN 2005cs (Pastorello et al. 2009, MNRAS, 394, 2266). From the minimum of Halpha, we infer an ejecta velocity of about 2100 km/s (slightly lower, about 1700 km/s, from the minimum of Hbeta).
The classification was done with SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The Asiago classification spectra are posted at the website http://sngroup.oapd.inaf.it.
