Interpreting the near-infrared spectra of the ‘golden standard’ Type Ia supernova 2005cf
We present nine near-infrared (NIR) spectra of supernova (SN) 2005cf at epochs from -10 d to +42 d with respect to B-band maximum, complementing the existing excellent data sets available for this prototypical Type Ia SN at other wavelengths.The spectra show a time evolution and spectral features characteristic of normal …
