We have assembled a dataset of 165 low redshift, $z<$0.06, publicly available type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We produce maximum light magnitude ($M_{B}$ and $M_{V}$) distributions of SNe Ia to explore the diversity of parameter space that they can fill. Before correction for host galaxy extinction we find that the mean $M_{B}$ and $M_{V}$ of SNe Ia are $-18.58pm0.07$mag and $-18.72pm0.05$mag respectively. Host galaxy extinction is corrected using a new method based on the SN spectrum. After correction, the mean values of $M_{B}$ and $M_{V}$ of SNe Ia are $-19.10pm0.06$ and $-19.10pm0.05$mag respectively. After correction for host galaxy extinction, `normal SNeIa ($Delta m_{15}(B)<1.6$mag) fill a larger parameter space in the Width-Luminosity Relation (WLR) than previously suggested, and there is evidence for luminous SNe Ia with large $Delta m_{15}(B)$. We find a bimodal distribution in $Delta m_{15}(B)$, with a pronounced lack of transitional events at $Delta m_{15}(B)$=1.6 mag. We confirm that faster, low-luminosity SNe tend to come from passive galaxies. Dividing the sample by host galaxy type, SNe Ia from star-forming (S-F) galaxies have a mean $M_{B}=-19.20 pm 0.05$ mag, while SNe Ia from passive galaxies have a mean $M_{B}=-18.57 pm 0.24$ mag. Even excluding fast declining SNe, `normal ($M_{B}<-18$ mag) SNe Ia from S-F and passive galaxies are distinct. In the $V$-band, there is a difference of 0.4$ pm $0.13 mag between the median ($M_{V}$) values of the `normal SN Ia population from passive and S-F galaxies. This is consistent with ($sim 15 pm $10)% of `normal SNe Ia from S-F galaxies coming from an old stellar population.

Ultraviolet (UV) observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) probe the outermost layers of the explosion, and UV spectra of SNe Ia are expected to be extremely sensitive to differences in progenitor composition and the details of the explosion. Here
we present the first study of a sample of high signal-to-noise ratio SN Ia spectra that extend blueward of 2900 A. We focus on spectra taken within 5 days of maximum brightness. Our sample of ten SNe Ia spans the majority of the parameter space of SN Ia optical diversity. We find that SNe Ia have significantly more diversity in the UV than in the optical, with the spectral variance continuing to increase with decreasing wavelengths until at least 1800 A (the limit of our data). The majority of the UV variance correlates with optical light-curve shape, while there are no obvious and unique correlations between spectral shape and either ejecta velocity or host-galaxy morphology. Using light-curve shape as the primary variable, we create a UV spectral model for SNe Ia at peak brightness. With the model, we can examine how individual SNe vary relative to expectations based on only their light-curve shape. Doing this, we confirm an excess of flux for SN 2011fe at short wavelengths, consistent with its progenitor having a subsolar metallicity. While most other SNe Ia do not show large deviations from the model, ASASSN-14lp has a deficit of flux at short wavelengths, suggesting that its progenitor was relatively metal rich.
We present late-time spectra of eight Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained at $>200$ days after peak brightness using the Gemini South and Keck telescopes. All of the SNe Ia in our sample were nearby, well separated from their host galaxys light, and
have early-time photometry and spectroscopy from the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO). Parameters are derived from the light curves and spectra such as peak brightness, decline rate, photospheric velocity, and the widths and velocities of the forbidden nebular emission lines. We discuss the physical interpretations of these parameters for the individual SNe Ia and the sample in general, including comparisons to well-observed SNe Ia from the literature. There are possible correlations between early-time and late-time spectral features that may indicate an asymmetric explosion, so we discuss our sample of SNe within the context of models for an offset ignition and/or white dwarf collisions. A subset of our late-time spectra are uncontaminated by host emission, and we statistically evaluate our nondetections of H$alpha$ emission to limit the amount of hydrogen in these systems. Finally, we consider the late-time evolution of the iron emission lines, finding that not all of our SNe follow the established trend of a redward migration at $>200$ days after maximum brightness.
It has been reported that the extinction law for Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) may be different from the one in the Milky Way, but the intrinsic color of SNe Ia and the dust extinction are observationally mixed. In this study, we examine photometric pr
operties of SNe Ia in the nearby universe ($z lesssim 0.04$) to investigate the SN Ia intrinsic color and the dust extinction. We focus on the Branch spectroscopic classification of 34 SNe Ia and morphological types of host galaxies. We carefully study their distribution of peak colors on the $B-V$, $V-R$ color-color diagram, as well as the color excess and absolute magnitude deviation from the stretch-color relation of the bluest SNe Ia. We find that SNe Ia which show the reddest color occur in early-type spirals and the trend holds when divided into Branch sub-types. The dust extinction becomes close to the Milky-Way like extinction if we exclude some peculiar red Broad Line (BL) sub-type SNe Ia. Furthermore, two of these red BLs occur in elliptical galaxies, less-dusty environment, suggesting intrinsic color diversity in BL sub-type SNe Ia.
We use the spectroscopy and homogeneous photometry of 97 Type Ia supernovae obtained by the emph{Carnegie Supernova Project} as well as a subset of 36 Type Ia supernovae presented by Zheng et al. (2018) to examine maximum-light correlations in a four
-dimensional (4-D) parameter space: $B$-band absolute magnitude, $M_B$, ion{Si}{2}~$lambda6355$ velocity, vsi, and ion{Si}{2} pseudo-equivalent widths pEW(ion{Si}{2}~$lambda6355$) and pEW(ion{Si}{2}~$lambda5972$). It is shown using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) that the original four groups in the Branch diagram are well-defined and robust in this parameterization. We find three continuous groups that describe the behavior of our sample in [$M_B$, vsi] space. Extending the GMM into the full 4-D space yields a grouping system that only slightly alters group definitions in the [$M_B$, vsi] projection, showing that most of the clustering information in [$M_B$, vsi] is already contained in the 2-D GMM groupings. However, the full 4-D space does divide group membership for faster objects between core-normal and broad-line objects in the Branch diagram. A significant correlation between $M_B$ and pEW(ion{Si}{2}~$lambda5972$) is found, which implies that Branch group membership can be well-constrained by spectroscopic quantities alone. In general, we find that higher-dimensional GMMs reduce the uncertainty of group membership for objects between the originally defined Branch groups. We also find that the broad-line Branch group becomes nearly distinct with the inclusion of vsi, indicating that this subclass of SNe Ia may be somehow different from the other groups.
We present a complete sample of International Ultraviolet Explorer and Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV) spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) through 2004. We measure the equivalent width (EW) and blueshifted velocity of the minimum of the on
e strong UV feature, Fe II 3250. We also quantify the slope of the near-UV spectra using a new parameter, the ``UV ratio. We find that the velocity of the Fe II line does not correlate with light-curve shape, while the EW shows distinct behavior for the slow and fast-declining objects. Using precise Cepheid and surface brightness fluctuation distance measurements of 6 objects with UV spectra observed near maximum light (a total of 12 spectra), we determine that the UV ratio at maximum light is highly correlated with SN Ia luminosity. A larger sample of UV spectra is necessary to increase the statistical certainty of these luminosity indicators and whether they can be combined with light-curve shape to improve measured SN Ia distances.
