An improved standardization framework for Type II-P supernovae using a hierarchical Bayesian approach
A. Holas, S. Taubenberger, C. Vogl +41
We use Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) observed as part of the Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory) experiment as standardizable candles to develop an improved standardization fram…
Are classification metrics good proxies for SN Ia cosmological constraining power?
Alex I. Malz, Mi Dai, Kara A. Ponder +10
Context: When selecting a classifier to use for a supernova Ia (SN Ia) cosmological analysis, it is common to make decisions based on metrics of classification performance, i.e. co…
A Probabilistic Autoencoder for Type Ia Supernovae Spectral Time Series
George Stein, Uros Seljak, Vanessa Bohm +37
We construct a physically-parameterized probabilistic autoencoder (PAE) to learn the intrinsic diversity of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from a sparse set of spectral time series. T…
The Twins Embedding of Type Ia Supernovae I: The Diversity of Spectra at Maximum Light
K. Boone, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34
We study the spectral diversity of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at maximum light using high signal-to-noise spectrophotometry of 173 SNe Ia from the Nearby Supernova Factory. We dec…
The Twins Embedding of Type Ia Supernovae II: Improving Cosmological Distance Estimates
K. Boone, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34
We show how spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at maximum light can be used to improve cosmological distance estimates. In a companion article, we used manifold learning to bui…
The SNEMO and SUGAR Companion Datasets
G. Aldering, P. Antilogus, C. Aragon +41
The Nearby Supernova Factory has made spectrophotometric observations of Type Ia supernovae since . This work presents an interim version of the data produced, including $210…
Incorporating Astrophysical Systematics into a Generalized Likelihood for Cosmology with Type Ia Supernovae
Kara A. Ponder, W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Andrew R. Zentner
Traditional cosmological inference using Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) have used stretch- and color-corrected fits of SN Ia light curves and assumed a resulting fiducial mean and symm…
