Program: GN-2022A-Q-140

The HST TAC has awarded us with 12 orbits in Cycle 29 to obtain ultraviolet spectra of nearby SNe Ia. As part of this program, the HST TAC also allocated us 4.5 hours of Gemini time, of which we request 3 hours in 2022A (with the remainder already allocated in 2022B). Spectral classification is essential to determine the viability of a target, and rapid classification is necessary to obtain the most scientifically useful HST observations. Additionally, early-time optical spectra are very important in our combined analysis, which uses UV, optical, and NIR photometry and spectroscopy to provide a holistic view of our HST SNe.
