The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic classification of AT2016bry, discovered by V. Tinella in UGC 11635, and preliminary photometric follow-up.

The observation was performed with the Asiago 1.82 m Copernico Telescope (equipped AFOSC; range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm). Classification was done with GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383) and SNID (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The Asiago classification spectra are available in the website http://sngroup.oapd.inaf.it.

 
Name         | Discovery UT  | Obs. Date UT |z      |   Type  | Phase | Notes   
AT2016bry    | 2016-04-19.85 | 20160430.11  |0.016  |   Ia    | +2d   | (1)    

(1) An excellent match is obtained with the Type Ia SN 1989B (Barbon et al. 1990, A&A, 237, 79) near the maximum light. From the position of the minimum of the Si II 635nm feature, we infer an expansion velocity of 10800 km/s for the ejected material.

In addition follow-up observations were obtained at several epochs.
