Do the photometric colors of Type II-P Supernovae allow accurate determination of host galaxy extinction?

Kevin Krisciunas, Mario Hamuy, Nicholas B. Suntzeff +10

We present infrared photometry of SN 1999em, plus optical photometry, infrared photometry, and optical spectroscopy of SN 2003hn. Both objects were Type II-P supernovae. The V-[RIJ…

A New Distance to The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/39) Based on the Type Ia Supernova 2007sr

Francois Schweizer, Christopher R. Burns, Barry F. Madore +13

Traditionally, the distance to NGC 4038/39 has been derived from the systemic recession velocity, yielding about 20 Mpc for H_0 = 72 km/s/Mpc. Recently, this widely adopted distanc…

The underluminous Type Ia Supernova 2005bl and the class of objects similar to SN 1991bg

S. Taubenberger, S. Hachinger, G. Pignata +24

Optical observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2005bl in NGC 4070, obtained from -6 to +66 d with respect to the B-band maximum, are presented. The photometric evolution is…
