Casper, W. Zheng, W. Li, and A. V. Filippenko, University of California at Berkeley; and S. B. Cenko, Goddard Space Flight Center, report the LOSS discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images: SN 2013 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag. Offset 2013dy July 10.45 22 18 17.60 +40 34 09.6 17.0 2".1 W, 24".9 N Note that the offset was incorrectly posted as 24".9 south on the TOCP. The variable was designated PSN J22181760+4034096 when it was posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2013dy based on the spectroscopic confirmation reported below.

D. D. Balam, Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, National Research Council of Canada; M. L. Graham, Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescop, University of California at San Diego; and E. Y. Hsiao, Las Campanas Observatory, report that a spectrogram (range 369-700 nm, resolution 0.3 nm) of PSN J22181760+4034096 = SN 2013dy, obtained on July 13.31 UT with the 1.82-m Plaskett Telescope of the National Research Council of Canada, shows it to be a type-Ia supernova one week prior to maximum light. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) indicates that 2013dy is most similar to the type-Ia supernova 1990N at 7 days pre-maximum. J.-J. Zhang, Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YNAO); and X.-F. Wang, Tsinghua University, report on an optical spectrogram (range 340-900 nm) of PSN J22181760+4034096 = SN 2013dy that was obtained on July 14.75 UT with the 2.4-m telescope (+YFOSC) at LiJiang Gaomeigu Station of YNAO. The spectrum is consistent with a normal type-Ia supernova a few days before maximum light. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) shows that the spectrum of 2013dy matches with that of SN 2003du at -7 days. Adopting a recession velocity 1166 km/s for the host galaxy, NGC 7250 (Schneider 1992, Ap.J. Suppl. 81, 5), they measure the velocity of the Si II 635.5-nm absorption feature to be about 13800 km/s. W. Zheng, University of California, Berkeley, S. B. Cenko, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA; K. I. Clubb, O. D. Fox, P. L. Kelley, and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley; and J. M. Silverman, University of Texas, report that PSN J22181760+4034096 = SN 2013dy is a young type-Ia supernova. Additional KAIT photometry shows that the supernova brightness increased from mag 17.0 when discovered on July 10.45 UT to 14.5 on July 14.37. A CCD spectrum (range 450-960 nm), obtained on July 11.7 with the 10-m Keck II telescope (+ DEIMOS spectrograph) at Keck Observatory, shows a strong Si II 635.5-nm feature and other features due to C II, Ca II, and O I, characteristic of a type-Ia supernova. We note that C II 658.0-nm is unusually strong -- nearly as strong as Si II 635.5-nm. Comparison with early-time spectra of SN 2011fe (e.g., Nugent et al. 2011, Nature 480, 344) indicates that 2013dy is a young type-Ia supernova at about one to two weeks before maximum light. Assuming that the host galaxy is NGC 7250, with redshift 0.00389 according to SIMBAD, the velocity at the photosphere, estimated from the minimum of the Si II 635.5-nm feature, is about 18400 km/s.
