M. Turatto, S. Benetti, A. Pastorello, S. Valenti, F. Bufano, and L. Tomasella, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrogram of PSN J13051112-4931270 = SN 2011ja, obtained on Dec. 19.31 UT with the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope (+ EFOSC2; range 365-930 nm; resolution 1.8 nm), shows it to be a type-II supernova. The best fit to this spectrum found by GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383; available at website URL https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi) suggests that 2011ja is similar to type-II supernovae a few days after explosion, if a redshift of 0.001878 for the host galaxy (Koribalski et al. 2004, A.J. 128, 16; via NED) and a total reddening of E(B-V) > 1.2 are assumed. Together with H lines with broad P-Cyg profiles, absorptions of Fe II, Ca II, and He I are clearly detected.
