Abstract
We have performed detailed non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) spectral synthesis modeling of two types of one-dimensional hydrodynamical models: the very highly parameterized deflagration model W7, and two delayed-detonation models. We find that, overall, both models do about equally well at fitting well-observed SNe Ia near maximum light. However, the Si II ?6150 feature of W7 is systematically too fast, whereas for the delayed-detonation models it is also somewhat too fast but significantly better than that of W7. We find that a parameterized mixed model does the best job of reproducing the Si II ?6150 line near maximum light, and we study the differences in the models that lead to better fits to normal SNe Ia. We discuss what is required of a hydrodynamical model to fit the spectra of observed SNe Ia near maximum light.
