We report the spectroscopic confirmation of two supernovae with observations obtained at the 1.82-m Copernico Telescope in Asiago (+ AFOSC; range 335-785 nm; resolution 0.9 nm).
A spectrogram of PSN J14354590+2443179 obtained on June 07.97 UT shows that this is a type Ia supernova. Assuming a recessional velocity of 10820 km/s for the host galaxy UGC 9396 (SDSS DR6 2007; via NED) a good match is found with several normal SNe Ia few days after B-band maximum light. An expansion velocity of 10150 km/s is derived from the minimum of the Si II 635-nm line.
A spectrogram of PSN J17423216+6735418 obtained on June 08.04 UT shows that this is a type Ia supernova. Assuming a recessional velocity of 12371 km/s for the host galaxy NGC 6456 (Huchra et al 2012, ApJS, 199, 26; via NED) a good match is found with several normal SNe Ia about one week after B-band maximum light. An expansion velocity of 9350 km/s is derived from the minimum of the Si II 635-nm line.
