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 standardize SN Ia luminosities. We use the parameterized supernova synthetic-spectrum code SYNOW to study line identifications in the photospheric-phase spectra of SN 2000cx. Previous work established the presence of Ca II infrared-triplet features forming above velocity about 20,000 km/s, much higher than the photospheric velocity of about 10,000 km/s. We find Ti II features forming at the same high velocity. High-velocity line formation is partly responsible for the photometric peculiarities of SN 2000cx: for example, B-band flux blocking by Ti II absorption features that decreases with time causes the B light curve to rise more rapidly and decline more slowly than it otherwise would. SN 2000cx contains an absorption feature near 4530 A that may be H-beta, forming at the same high velocity. The lack of conspicuous H-alpha and P-alpha signatures does not necessarily invalidate the H-beta identification if the high-velocity line formation is confined to a clump that partly covers the photosphere and the H-alpha and P-alpha source functions are elevated relative to that of resonance scattering. The H-beta identification is tentative. If it is correct, the high-velocity matter must have come from a nondegenerate companion star.
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 that were defined on the basis of maximum light spectra in Paper II (c
We have conducted a systematic and comprehensive monitoring programme of the Type Ia supernova 2000cx at late phases using the VLT and HST. The VLT observations cover phases 360 to 480 days past maximum brightness and include photometry in the BVRIJH
We present optical and infrared photometry of the unusual Type Ia supernova 2000cx. With the data of Li et al. (2001) and Jha (2002), this comprises the largest dataset ever assembled for a Type Ia SN, more than 600 points in UBVRIJHK. We confirm the
Spectroscopic analyses of Type Ia supernovae have shown there exist four spectroscopic groups---cools, broad line, shallow silicon, and core normal---defined by the widths of the Si II features at 5972 Angstroms and 6355 Angstroms. 1991bg-likes are c
Synthetic spectra generated with the parameterized supernova synthetic-spectrum code SYNOW are compared to observed photospheric-phase spectra of the Type Ic supernova 1994I. The observed optical spectra can be well matched by synthetic spectra that
