Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Supernovae from the ESSENCE Project: The First Four Years

R. J. Foley, T. Matheson, S. Blondin +23

We present the results of spectroscopic observations from the ESSENCE high-redshift supernova (SN) survey during its first four years of operation. This sample includes spectra of…

A Second Case of Variable Na I D Lines in a Highly-Reddened Type Ia Supernova (with Erratum)

S. Blondin, J. L. Prieto, F. Patat +5

(Original) Recent high-resolution spectra of the Type Ia SN 2006X have revealed the presence of time-variable and blueshifted Na I D features, interpreted by Patat et al. as origin…

Optical Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae

T. Matheson, R. P. Kirshner, P. Challis +19

We present 432 low-dispersion optical spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that also have well-calibrated light curves. The coverage ranges from 6 epochs to 36 epochs of spect…
