Time evolution of SN Ia NIR magnesium velocity
Time evolution of SN Ia near-infrared magnesium velocity. The magnesium velocity of the GNIRS SN 2011fe spectra underwent a rapid decline and an extended period of constant velocity. Note that SN 1999by is a spectroscopically peculiar SN Ia, much like SN 1991bg. The magnesium velocity of normal SNe Ia all show similar constant behavior as that of SN 2011fe.
