Abstract:
Preliminary results on the spectroscopy of two recent supernovae are presented. The spectrograms obtained at a dispersion of 400 Armstrong m/m in the wavelength range of 4300-8700 Armstrong show that the supernova in NGC 6946 is of type II and that the supernova in NGC 1316 is of type I. The spectroscopic monotoring of the two supernovae is being continued.
