Correction of Type Ia Supernova brightnesses for extinction by dust has proven to be a vexing problem. Here we study the dust foreground to the highly reddened SN 2012cu, which is projected onto a dust lane in the galaxy NGC 4772. The analysis is based on multi-epoch, spectrophotometric observations spanning 3,300 - 9,200 Å, obtained by the Nearby Supernova Factory. Phase-matched comparison of the spectroscopically twinned SN 2012cu and SN 2011fe across 10 epochs results in the best-fit color excess of (E(B-V), RMS) = (1.00, 0.03) and total-to-selective extinction ratio of (RV , RMS) = (2.95, 0.08) toward SN 2012cu within its host galaxy. We further identify several diffuse interstellar bands, and compare the 5780 Å band with the dust-to-band ratio for the Milky Way. Overall, we find the foreground dust-extinction properties for SN 2012cu to be consistent with those of the Milky Way. Furthermore we find no evidence for significant time variation in any of these extinction tracers. We also compare the dust extinction curve models of Cardelli et al. (1989), O'Donnell (1994), and Fitzpatrick (1999), and find the predictions of Fitzpatrick (1999) fit SN 2012cu the best. Finally, the distance to NGC4772, the host of SN 2012cu, at a redshift of z = 0.0035, often assigned to the Virgo Southern Extension, is determined to be 16.6$\pm$1.1 Mpc. We compare this result with distance measurements in the literature.

On the Source of the Dust Extinction in Type Ia Supernovae and the Discovery of Anomalously Strong Na I Absorption
对32颗Ia型超新星光谱中Na I D 5890、5896和K I 7665、7699星际谱线以及5780埃的弥散星际谱带的高色散观测被用作探测尘埃消光的独立手段。我们发现，尘埃消光的对象，在5780埃的弥漫星际带被检测到的超新星颜色的视觉消光是一致的。这有力地表明，产生灭绝的尘埃主要位于宿主星系的星际介质中，而不是与祖先系统相关的星周物质中。四分之一的超新星显示巨大的Na I柱密度相比，尘埃消光量来自他们的颜色。值得注意的是，所有异常强的Na I D吸收的情况都对应于Sternberg等人（2011）的分类方案中的"蓝移"分布。这一巧合表明，外流的拱星气体是负责至少一些情况下，巨大的钠离子柱密度。两颗具有异常强的Na I D吸收的超新星显示出其颜色所暗示的尘埃消光的K I柱密度基本正常，但这似乎不是一个普遍的特征。总的来说，我们发现最准确的预测个别超新星灭绝是在5780埃的弥漫星际带的等效宽度，并提供了一个经验关系的使用。最后，我们确定的方法产生显着增强的Na丰度的拱星物质在单简并和双简并的情况下的祖系统。
