Abstract
Aims. We present synthetic spectra around maximum for the type II supernova SN 2003Z, which was first detected on January 29.7 2003. Comparison with observed spectra aim at the determination of physical parameters for SN 2003Z. Methods. Synthetic spectra are calculated with our stellar atmosphere codePHOENIX. It solves the special relativistic equation of radiative transfer, including large NLTE-calculations and l ine blanketing by design, in 1-dimensional spherical symmetry. The observed spectra were obtained at the 3.5 meter telescope at Calar Alto. The TWIN instrument was used so that a spectral range from about 3600 to 7500 A was covered. The spectra were taken on Feb. 4, 5, 9, and 11, 2003. Results. The physical parameters of the models give the luminosities, a range of possible velocity profiles for the SN, an estimate of the colour excess, and the observed metalicity.
