Following Quimby et al. (ATel#2492), we undertook further investigation
of the Palomar 5m spectra of CSS100313:112547-084941 taken on Mar 15th.
We find that the galaxy detected at z=0.17 is unrelated to the supernova.
Furthermore, we marginally detect the presence of emission lines
consistent with OIII and OII at a redshift of z=0.23, in agreement
with Quimby et al. and Pastorello et al. (ATel#2504). However, we do
not detect the presence of Halpha emission or MgII absorption.
The first CRTS detection of CSS100313:112547-084941 was at 13.32UT. The discovery was
automatically processed and openly distributed as a VOEvent via VOEventNet at 13.34UT.
The transient was human-classified as a likely supernova in a CRTS Circular that was
openly announced over SkyAlert on Mar 13.41 UT. The SN was also detected by CRTS
on Mar 15.31 UT. For details see the SkyAlert event
