SN 2011fe was the nearest and best-observed type Ia supernova in a generation, and brought previous incomplete datasets into sharp contrast with the detailed new data. In retrospect, documenting spectroscopic behaviors of type Ia supernovae…

In this second paper in a series we present measurements of spectral features of 432 low-redshift (z < 0.1) optical spectra of 261 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) within 20 d of maximum brightness. The data were obtained from 1989 through the…

Large photometric surveys of transient phenomena, such as Pan-STARRS and LSST, will locate thousands to millions of type Ia supernova candidates per year, a rate prohibitive for acquiring spectroscopy to determine each candidate's type and…
