Nidia Morrell and Mario Hamuy, Carnegie Observatories, report that a
spectrum (range 400-730 nm) of SN 2003ib (cf. IAUC 8201), obtained on
Sep. 18.17 UT with the Las Campanas Dupont 2.5-m  telescope
+ Modular Spectrograph), shows that this is a young Type II supernova
characterized by a blue continuum and H alpha, H beta, and He I 5876 lines
exhibiting P-Cyg profiles. An approximate redshift of 0.024 (+/-0.001)
is derived based on the maximum of the H alpha emission. The minimum
of the H beta line yields an expansion velocity of -7700 km/s.

A spectrum of SN 2003ic (cf. IAUC 8201), obtained on Sep. 18.25 with
the same instrument, shows that this is a type-Ia supernova. The spectrum
is similar to that of SN 1994D taken 5 days before maximum. The minimum 
of the Si II 635.5 nm line yields an expansion velocity of -12200 km/s
(adopting the NED host-galaxy recession velocity of 16690 km/s).

A spectrum of SN 2003id (cf. IAUC 8201), obtained on Sep. 18.33 with
the same instrument, shows that this is a type-Ic supernova. The spectrum
is characterized by strong absorptions centered at 491 nm (possibly due
to Fe II blends) and 607 nm, and by a P-Cyg profile whose minimum is
cantered at 645 nm, and bears some resemblance to that of SN 1994I
taken 4 days before maximum (Filippenko 1997, ARAA, 35, 309).
