As part of these observations, we reported the transient ZTF22aatwsqt/AT2022oyn as a possible optical counterpart.\n\nWe undertook spectroscopic observations of AT2022oyn with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS, Oke et al. 95) at the Keck I Observatory, as part of a program to classify possible electromagnetic counterparts to neutrinos (C271, PI: Stein). Using SNID (Blondin et al. 2007), we classify AT2022oyn as a type Ia supernova at redshift z=0.135 (see https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2022oyn for the full spectrum), approximately 45 days post peak. Given that type Ia supernovae are not predicted to emit high-energy neutrinos, we therefore exclude AT2022oyn as a candidate counterpart to IC220907A.\n\nThe data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which is operated as a scientific partnership among the California Institute of Technology, the University of California and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation.\n\nThe authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Maunakea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain.",
