of which could be $\lambda$5876 blueshifted by [$\sim\!\!$ ]{}24,100 [km s$^{-1}$]{}. In addition, the absorption near 6060 Å is most likely [H$\alpha$]{} blueshifted by [$\sim\!\!$ ]{}24,000 [km s$^{-1}$]{}.

We measure a blackbody-fit temperature of [$\sim\!\!$ ]{}14,000 K for the continuum of this observation. In comparison, the derived early-time blackbody temperatures of SNe 1993J and 2008D were [$\sim\!\!$ ]{}12,000 K [@Clocchiatti95] and 13,000 K [@Modjaz09], respectively, which match nicely with [SN 2001ig]{}.

In our highest-resolution spectrum, taken on 2002 Jan. 18 (46 days after explosion; see §\[ss:transition\] for more on this observation), we measure an upper limit to the equivalent width (EW) of the  D line in of [$\sim\!\!$ ]{}0.1 Å. This corresponds to a host-galaxy reddending of $E\left(B-V\right) \lesssim
0.02$ mag [@Munari97], which is comparable to the Galactic reddening of $E\left(B-V\right)=0.011$ mag from @Schlegel98. The low host reddening for [SN 2001ig]{} is reasonable since the SN occurred on the outskirts of the galaxy. Since these numbers are both quite small, we ignore reddening when plotting our spectra. We also note that @Maund07 required a total reddening somewhat in excess of the Galactic value plus the value we calculate for the host to explain the polarization they observe.
