Optical spectroscopy (range 340-800 nm; resolution 0.7 nm) obtained on Dec. 28.69 UT
with the Asiago 1.22-m Galileo Telescope (+ B&C), shows that PSN J21142287+1514407
is a type-Ia event. Adopting for the host galaxy UGC 11706 the redshift z = 0.015798
(Bottinelli et al. 1993, A&AS 102, 57B, via NED), the best fit is obtained with various
type-Ia supernovae around maximum light. The expansion velocity as deduced from
the position of the Si-II 635.5nm absorption is about 10300 km/s. The Asiago classification
spectra are posted at this website: URL http://graspa.oapd.inaf.it ; classification
was made via GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383) and SNID
(Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024).
