Spectral evolution of two of the FI events. The emission lines disappear within a few days, and P Cygni line profiles develop over time. These well-observed objects would be classified as FI if found prior to day 3 and as BF if found around day 5, demonstrating the evolution of SNe II, and why our measured FI fraction is only a lower limit on the true frequency of SNe having dense CSM. Data from Gal-Yam et al. (2014) and Smith et al. (2015).
