Hi Andy,
Thanks for the plot.
The Subaru data is available from http://www.sc.eso.org/~clidman/#L2742
I weighted the VLT and Subaru spectra (using the error
spectra) before combining them. In principle, one could add the ESI and
ACS data as well if the the error spectra for these supernova are
available. The ACS data appear to be in good agreement with
the VLT and Subaru data. I know very little about the ESI
data. You might have to ask Rachel, Vallery and Greg about the
ACS/ESI data.
Cheers, Chris
