This spectrum of type 1a supernova SN2020hvf was taken on 11 May with a LISA spectrograph (R~1100) on a C11 and has been calibrated in absolute flux using a V magnitude of V=12.67 measured concurrently with the spectrum using another scope. The spectrum has been smoothed with a Gaussian factor 2.5.
The blue-shifted location at 6118A of the prominent Si II 6355A absorption feature indicates an expansion velocity of ~11,200 km/s.
