TL;DR: PTF 09dav is a peculiar subluminous Type Ia supernova (SN) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). Spectroscopically, it appears superficially similar to the class of sub-lightweight SN1991bg-like SNe, but it has several unusual features which make it stand out from this population as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2008iy, which showed an unprecedentedly long rise time of ~400 d, making it the first known supernova to take significantly longer than 100 d to reach peak optical luminosity.
