Photometric Calibration of the Supernova Legacy Survey Fields
N. Regnault
The 5-year project Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) delivers Type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) per year, in the redshift range , with well-sampled ligh…
The type Ia supernova SNLS-03D3bb from a super-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf star
D. Andrew Howell, Mark Sullivan, Peter E. Nugent +14
The acceleration of the expansion of the universe, and the need for Dark Energy, were inferred from the observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). There is consensus that SNe Ia…
The Rise Time of Type Ia Supernovae from the Supernova Legacy Survey
A. Conley, D. A. Howell, A. Howes +24
We compare the rise times of nearby and distant Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a test for evolution using 73 high-redshift spectroscopically-confirmed SNe Ia from the first two yea…
A multi-object, multi-field spectrometer and imager for a European ELT
Chris Evans, Colin Cunningham, Eli Atad-Ettedgui +11
One of the highlights of the European ELT Science Case book is the study of resolved stellar populations, potentially out to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A European ELT would ena…
Rates and properties of type Ia supernovae as a function of mass and star-formation in their host galaxies
M. Sullivan, D. Le Borgne, C. J. Pritchet +27
(ABRIDGED) We show that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are formed within both very young and old stellar populations, with observed rates that depend on the stellar mass and mean star…
The Type Ia Supernova Rate at z ~0.5 from the Supernova Legacy Survey
J. D. Neill, M. Sullivan, D. Balam +33
We present a measurement of the distant Type Ia supernova rate derived from the first two years of the Canada -- France -- Hawaii Telescope Supernova Legacy Survey. We observed fou…
