Atmospheric extinction properties above Mauna Kea from the Nearby Supernova Factory spectro-photometric data set
C. Buton, Y. Copin, G. Aldering +30
We present a new atmospheric extinction curve for Mauna Kea spanning 3200--9700 Å. It is the most comprehensive to date, being based on some 4285 standard star spectra obtained on…
Supernova Resonance--scattering Line Profiles in the Absence of a Photosphere
Brian Friesen, E. Baron, David Branch +3
In supernova spectroscopy relatively little attention has been given to the properties of optically thick spectral lines in epochs following the photosphere's recession. Most treat…
A Search for New Candidate Super-Chandrasekhar-Mass Type Ia Supernovae in the Nearby Supernova Factory Dataset
The Nearby Supernova Factory, :, R. Scalzo +32
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of five type Ia supernovae discovered by the Nearby Supernova Factory selected to be spectroscopic analogues of the candidate super-C…
Analysis of the Early-Time Optical Spectra of SN 2011fe in M101
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, B. Friesen +35
The nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe in M101 (cz=241 km s^-1) provides a unique opportunity to study the early evolution of a "normal" Type Ia supernova, its compositional struct…
Hubble Space Telescope studies of low-redshift Type Ia supernovae: Evolution with redshift and ultraviolet spectral trends
K. Maguire, M. Sullivan, R. S. Ellis +26
We present an analysis of the maximum light, near ultraviolet (NUV; 2900-5500 A) spectra of 32 low redshift (0.001<z<0.08) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), obtained with the Hubble Spa…
Constraining Type Ia supernova models: SN 2011fe as a test case
F. K. Roepke, M. Kromer, I. R. Seitenzahl +42
The nearby supernova SN 2011fe can be observed in unprecedented detail. Therefore, it is an important test case for Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) models, which may bring us closer to u…
