Y. Cao, California Institute of Technology; M. M. Kasliwal, Carnegie Institute for Science and Princeton University; and C. J. White, Princeton University, report spectroscopic follow-up of PSN J12422445-0702576 = 2012cr on May 30.14 UT with the Dual Imaging Spectrograph mounted on the ARC 3.5-m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory. Broad H_alpha emission resembles that seen in normal type-II supernovae at about several days after maximum brightness. The H_alpha has a FWHM of about 18000 km/s. Narrow H_alpha, nitrogen, and sulfur lines suggest a redshift of about 0.009, consistent with the redshift of its host galaxy, NGC 4626.
