An improved standardization framework for Type II-P supernovae using a hierarchical Bayesian approach

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…
An Agnostic Approach to Building Empirical Type Ia Supernova Light Curves: Evidence for Intrinsic Chromatic Flux Variation Using Nearby Supernova Factory Data
Jared Hand, A. G. Kim, G. Aldering +35
We present a new empirical Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) model with three chromatic flux variation templates: one phase dependent and two phase independent. No underlying dust extincti…
Bump Morphology of the CMAGIC Diagram

We apply the color-magnitude intercept calibration method (CMAGIC) to the Nearby Supernova Factory SNe Ia spectrophotometric dataset. The currently existing CMAGIC parameters are t…
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…
