Echoes from Ancient Supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. Rest, N. B. Suntzeff, K. Olsen +13
In principle, the light from historical supernovae could still be visible as scattered-light echoes even centuries later. However, while echoes have been discovered around some nea…
Supernova Cosmology and the ESSENCE project
Jesper Sollerman, Claudio Aguilera, Andy Becker +27
The proper usage of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators has revolutionized cosmology, and added a new dominant component to the energy density of the Universe, dark…
Testing LMC Microlensing Scenarios: The Discrimination Power of the SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey
A. Rest, C. Stubbs, A. C. Becker +18
Characterizing the nature and spatial distribution of the lensing objects that produce the previously measured microlensing optical depth toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) re…
Ultracompact AM CVn Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Three Candidates Plus the First Confirmed Eclipsing System
Scott F. Anderson, Daryl Haggard, Lee Homer +23
AM CVn systems are a rare (about a dozen previously known) class of cataclysmic variables, arguably encompassing the shortest orbital periods (down to about 10 minutes) of any know…
The Fall 2004 SDSS Supernova Survey
Masao Sako, Roger Romani, Josh Frieman +38
In preparation for the Supernova Survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) II, a proposed 3-year extension to the SDSS, we have conducted an early engineering and science run d…
Photometric Confirmation of MACHO Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Events
David P. Bennett, Andrew C. Becker, Austin Tomaney
We present previously unpublished photometry of three Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) microlensing events and show that the new photometry confirms the microlensing interpretation of…
