The normal Type Ia SN 2003hv out to very late phases
<i>Aims. <i/>We study a thermonuclear supernova (SN), emphasizing very late phases.<i>Methods. <i/>An extensive dataset for SN 2003hv that covers the flux evolution from maximum light to day +786 is presented. This includes 82 epochs of optical imaging, 24 epochs of near-infrared (NIR) imaging, and 10 epochs of optical spectroscopy. These …
