Gerardy (FSU) report:\n\nWe obtained near-infrared spectra of supernova 2008D (ATEL 1353; GCN\n7160) with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) and\nSPEX instrument. The data were taken January 14.4 UT and cover\nthe wavelength range 0.7 to 2.5 microns. A preliminary reduction\nof the spectrum shows a strong absorption feature at 1.01 micron.\nThis feature is seen in several other type Ic events (e.g. SN 1994I,\nMillard et al. 1999, ApJ, 527, 746; SN2002ap, Motohara et al.\n2002, IAUC 7834) and is probably a combination of HeI, CI and SiI.\nA weaker feature at 0.80 micron is likely to be CaII (0.858 micron)\nwith an absorption minimum at 21000 km/s.\n\nWe thank Alan Tokunaga for coordinating these observations at the IRTF.",
