Description
In a previous paper, we presented an atlas containing 59 low-resolution
spectra that correspond to 27 Type Ia supernovae, covering about 1 year
of Type Ia supernova evolution. This paper is a continuation, with the
aim of performing a standard spectral evolution for ``normal'' Type Ia
supernovae from the homogeneous set of data compiled in the Canarias
Type Ia Supernova Archive. This standard sequence could be useful in
yielding clues leading to the detection of the ``peculiar'' Type Ia
supernova events. Furthermore, it could help in assigning a more
accurate phase to a given Type Ia supernova from its spectrum when no
photometric evolution of the supernova is available. Based on
observations made with the 2.5 m Isaac Newton and the 4.2 m William
Herschel Telescopes operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac
Newton Group in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of
the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.
