The Carnegie Supernova Project: Absolute Calibration and the Hubble Constant
Christopher. R. Burns, Emilie Parent, M. M. Phillips +23
We present an analysis of the final data release of the Carnegie Supernova Project I, focusing on the absolute calibration of the luminosity-decline-rate relation for Type Ia super…
SN 2009bb: a Peculiar Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernova
Giuliano Pignata, Maximilian Stritzinger, Alicia Soderberg +23
Ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN) 2009bb are presented, following the flux evolution from -10 to…
A New Distance to The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/39) Based on the Type Ia Supernova 2007sr
Francois Schweizer, Christopher R. Burns, Barry F. Madore +13
Traditionally, the distance to NGC 4038/39 has been derived from the systemic recession velocity, yielding about 20 Mpc for H_0 = 72 km/s/Mpc. Recently, this widely adopted distanc…
Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae by the Carnegie Supernova Project
Gastón Folatelli, Nidia Morrell, Mark M. Phillips +27
This is the first release of optical spectroscopic data of low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) by the Carnegie Supernova Project including 604 previously unpublished spectra o…
The Distance to NGC 1316 (Fornax A) From Observations of Four Type Ia Supernovae
Maximilian Stritzinger, Chris Burns, Mark Phillips +13
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A) is a well-studied member of the Fornax Cluster and a prolific producer of Type Ia supernovae, having hosted four observed events sin…
The Carnegie Supernova Project: First Photometry Data Release of Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae
Carlos Contreras, Mario Hamuy, M. M. Phillips +18
The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is a five-year survey being carried out at the Las Campanas Observatory to obtain high-quality light curves of ~100 low-redshift Type Ia supern…
The Carnegie Supernova Project: Light Curve Fitting with SNooPy
Christopher R. Burns, Maximilian Stritzinger, M. M. Phillips +13
In providing an independent measure of the expansion history of the Universe, the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) has observed 71 high-z Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the near-in…
The Carnegie Supernova Project: Analysis of the First Sample of Low-Redshift Type-Ia Supernovae
Gaston Folatelli, M. M. Phillips, Christopher R. Burns +19
We present the analysis of the first set of low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) by the Carnegie Supernova Project. Well-sampled, high-precision optical (ugriBV) and near-infra…
Near-infrared K corrections of Type Ia Supernovae and their errors
Luis Boldt, Maximilian Stritzinger, Chris Burns +5
In this paper we use near-infrared (NIR) spectral observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to study the uncertainties inherent to NIR K corrections. To do so, 75 previously publ…
The Carnegie Supernova Project: Intrinsic Colors of Type Ia Supernovae
Christopher R. Burns, Maximilian Stritzinger, M. M. Phillips +12
We present an updated analysis of the intrinsic colors of SNe Ia using the latest data release of the Carnegie Supernova Project. We introduce a new light-curve parameter very simi…
Multi-wavelength Observations of the Enduring Type IIn Supernovae 2005ip and 2006jd
Maximilian Stritzinger, Francesco Taddia, Claes Fransson +19
We present an observational study of the Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) 2005ip and 2006jd. Broad-band UV, optical and near-IR photometry, and visual-wavelength spectroscopy of SN 20…
The Carnegie Supernova Project I: Third Photometry Data Release of Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae and Other White Dwarf Explosions
Kevin Krisciunas, Carlos Contreras, Christopher R. Burns +27
We present final natural system optical (ugriBV) and near-infrared (YJH) photometry of 134 supernovae (SNe) with probable white dwarf progenitors that were observed in 2004-2009 as…
Unburned Material in the Ejecta of Type Ia Supernovae
Gastón Folatelli, M. M. Phillips, Nidia Morrell +17
(Abridged) The presence of unburned material in the ejecta of normal Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) is investigated using early-time spectroscopy obtained by the CSP. The tell-tale sig…
