Early Spectra of Supernovae

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We briefly describe the current version of the PHOENIX code. We then present some results on the modeling of Type II supernovae and show that fits to observations can be obtained, when account is taken for spherically symmetric, line-blanketed, expanding atmospheres. We describe the SEAM method of obtaining distances to supernovae and briefly discuss its future prospects.
