[B}Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Highly Reddened,
Rapidly Expanding Type Ia Supernova 2006X in M100[/b]



Highest observed velocity of the ejecta, and a slow decline in the Blue magnitude. This is a local event. If this were viewed from a cosmic distance before this local event occurred, how would this event be interpreted?

Interesting, Jerry. Higher ejecta velocities mean higher temperatures, which means greater luminosity. It'll be nice to see one of these without the extra reddening which somewhat compensates things. That'll be trickier to fit for your average country bear. Thanks. Pete
