The Nearby Supernova Factory reports that a spectrum (range 340-1000 nm)
of the SN in UGC 8539 (Tim Puckett, private communication), obtained April
29.5 UT with the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University
of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope, shows it to be an early Type II at the redshift
of the host galaxy. Present in this blue spectrum are the Hydrogen
features H-alpha through H-delta as well as He I 587.6 nm.
