Abstract

We present optical spectra of the Type Ic supernova 1994I in M51 and preliminary non-LTE analysis of the spectra. Our models are not inconsistent with the explosions of C+O cores of massive stars. While we find no direct evidence for helium in the optical spectra, our models cannot rule out small amounts of helium. More than 0.1~\msol\ of helium seems unlikely.
