The effect of progenitor age and metallicity on luminosity and 56Ni yield in Type Ia supernovae

D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan, E. F. Brown +23

Timmes, Brown & Truran found that metallicity variations could theoretically account for a 25% variation in the mass of 56Ni synthesized in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and thus ac…

Looking Beyond Lambda with the Union Supernova Compilation

D. Rubin, E. V. Linder, M. Kowalski +21

The recent robust and homogeneous analysis of the world's supernova distance-redshift data, together with cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillation data, provides…

Clustering of supernova Ia host galaxies

R. G. Carlberg, M. Sullivan, D. Le Borgne +16

For the first time the cross-correlation between type Ia supernova host galaxies and surrounding field galaxies is measured using the Supernova Legacy Survey sample. Over the z=0.2…

Improved Cosmological Constraints from New, Old and Combined Supernova Datasets

M. Kowalski, D. Rubin, G. Aldering +67

We present a new compilation of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a new dataset of low-redshift nearby-Hubble-flow SNe and new analysis procedures to work with these heterogeneous compi…

SiFTO: An Empirical Method for Fitting SNe Ia Light Curves

A. Conley, M. Sullivan, E. Y. Hsiao +14

We present SiFTO, a new empirical method for modeling type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) light curves by manipulating a spectral template. We make use of high-redshift SN observations whe…

Type Ia Supernovae Rates and Galaxy Clustering from the CFHT Supernova Legacy Survey

M. L. Graham, C. J. Pritchet, M. Sullivan +25

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) has created a large homogeneous database of intermediate redshift (0.2 < z < 1.0) type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The…
