Getting a spectrum for the object to check whether it is SN 1991T-like is interesting, since the host galaxy is of type S0 but looks very much like an Elliptical, and no SN 1991T-like Ia has been found in E galaxies yet. Time is critical -- SN 1991T-like objects are hard to identify from norma Ia after optical maximum. Weidong
