SNEMO: Improved Empirical Models for Type Ia Supernovae

C. Saunders, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +39

Type Ia supernova cosmology depends on the ability to fit and standardize observations of supernova magnitudes with an empirical model. We present here a series of new models of Ty…

A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 without the electromagnetic counterpart

M. Fishbach, R. Gray, I. Magaña Hernandez +316

We perform a statistical standard siren analysis of GW170817. Our analysis does not utilize knowledge of NGC 4993 as the unique host galaxy of the optical counterpart to GW170817.…

AlterBBN v2: A public code for calculating Big-Bang nucleosynthesis constraints in alternative cosmologies

A. Arbey, J. Auffinger, K. P. Hickerson +1

We present the version 2 of AlterBBN, an open public code for the calculation of the abundance of the elements from Big-Bang nucleosynthesis. It does not rely on any closed externa…
