UV & opt. phot. & spectra of Type Ia SN2011aa

We present optical observations and Monte Carlo radiative transfer modeling of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2011aa. With a {Delta}m_15_(B) of 0.59+/-0.07mag and a peak magnitude M_B_ of -19.30+/-0.27mag, SN 2011aa has the slowest decline rate among SNe Ia. The secondary maximum in the I band is absent or as equally bright as the primary maximum. The velocity of CII is lower than the velocity of SiII. This indicates either the presence of C at lower velocities than Si or a line-of-sight effect. Application of Arnett's radiation diffusion model to the bolometric light curve indicates a massive ejecta M_ej_ 1.8-2.6M_{sun}_. The slow decline rate and large ejecta mass, with a normal peak magnitude, are well explained by a double degenerate, violent merger explosion model. The synthetic spectra and light curves generated with SEDONA considering a violent merger density profile match the observations.
