Photometric selection of high-redshift type Ia supernovae

M. Sullivan, D. A. Howell, K. Perrett +26

We present a method for selecting high-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) located via rolling SN searches. The technique, using both color and magnitude information of events fro…

The Supernova Legacy Survey: Measurement of Omega_M, Omega_Lambda and w from the First Year Data Set

P. Astier, J. Guy, N. Regnault +39

We present distance measurements to 71 high redshift type Ia supernovae discovered during the first year of the 5-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). These events were detected an…

Gemini Spectroscopy of Supernovae from SNLS: Improving High Redshift SN Selection and Classification

D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan, K. Perrett +22

We present new techiques for improving the efficiency of supernova (SN) classification at high redshift using 64 candidates observed at Gemini North and South during the first year…

Spectra of High-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae and a Comparison with their Low-Redshift Counterparts

I. M. Hook, D. A. Howell, G. Aldering +32

We present spectra for 14 high-redshift (0.17 < z < 0.83) supernovae, which were discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project as part of a campaign to measure cosmological paramet…

Spectroscopy of twelve Type Ia supernovae at intermediate redshift

C. Balland, M. Mouchet, R. Pain +15

We present spectra of twelve Type Ia supernovae obtained in 1999 at the William Herschel Telescope and the Nordic Optical Telescope during a search for Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) a…

Spectroscopic Observations and Analysis of the Unusual Type Ia SN 1999ac

The Supernova Cosmology Project, :, G. Garavini +55

We present optical spectra of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac. The data extend from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual…

Restframe I-band Hubble diagram for type Ia supernovae up to redshift z ~0.5

The Supernova Cosmology Project, :, S. Nobili +35

We present a novel technique for fitting restframe I-band light curves on a data set of 42 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Using the result of the fit, we construct a Hubble diagram w…
