Supernovae (SNe), with their diversity of compositions, velocities, envelope masses, and interactions, are good testing grounds for probing the importance of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) in expanding atmospheres. In addition to treating H, He, Li I, O I, Ne I, Na I, and Mg II in NLTE, we use a very large model atom of Fe II to test the importance of NLTE processes in both Type Ia and...
