Comparative Direct Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Spectra. V. Insights from A Larger Sample and Quantitative Subclassification

David Branch, Leeann Chau Dang, E. Baron

A comparative study of optical spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is extended, in the light of new data. The discussion is framed in terms of the four groups defined in previou…

Comparative Direct Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Spectra. IV. Postmaximum

David Branch, David J. Jeffery, Jerod Parrent +6

A comparative study of optical spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained near 1 week, 3 weeks, and 3 months after maximum light is presented. Most members of the four groups…

Comparative Direct Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Spectra. III. Premaximum

David Branch, M. A. Troxel, David J. Jeffery +8

A comparative study of spectra of 21 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained about one week before maximum light, and 8 spectra obtained 11 or more days before maximum, is presented.…

Comparative Direct Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Spectra. II. Maximum Light

David Branch, Leeann Chau Dang, Nicholas Hall +7

A comparative study of near-maximum-light optical spectra of 24 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is presented. The spectra are quantified in two ways, and assigned to four groups. Seven…

Comparative Direct Analysis of Spectra of Type Ia Supernovae. I. SN 1994D

David Branch, E. Baron, Nicholas Hall +2

As the first step in a comprehensive, comparative, direct analysis of the spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we use the parameterized supernova synthetic-spectrum code, SYNOW,…

Direct Analysis of Spectra of the Peculiar Type Ia Supernova 2000cx

D. Branch, R. C. Thomas, E. Baron +6

The Type Ia SN 2000cx exhibited multiple peculiarities, including a lopsided B-band light-curve peak that does not conform to current methods for using shapes of light curves to st…
