Host Galaxy Properties and Hubble Residuals of Type Ia Supernovae from the Nearby Supernova Factory

M. J. Childress, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +32

We examine the relationship between Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) Hubble residuals and the properties of their host galaxies using a sample of 115 SNe Ia from the Nearby Supernova Fact…

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…

Type Ia Supernova Carbon Footprints

R. C. Thomas, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +32

We present convincing evidence of unburned carbon at photospheric velocities in new observations of 5 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained by the Nearby Supernova Factory. These SN…

The reddening law of Type Ia Supernovae: separating intrinsic variability from dust using equivalent widths

N. Chotard, E. Gangler, G. Aldering +28

We employ 76 type Ia supernovae with optical spectrophotometry within 2.5 days of B-band maximum light obtained by the Nearby Supernova Factory to derive the impact of Si and Ca fe…

Keck Observations of the Young Metal-Poor Host Galaxy of the Super-Chandrasekhar-Mass Type Ia Supernova SN 2007if

M. Childress, G. Aldering, C. Aragon +28

We present Keck LRIS spectroscopy and -band photometry of the metal-poor, low-luminosity host galaxy of the super-Chandrasekhar mass Type Ia supernova SN 2007if. Deep imaging of…

Nearby Supernova Factory Observations of SN 2007if: First Total Mass Measurement of a Super-Chandrasekhar-Mass Progenitor

R. A. Scalzo, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +27

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2007if, an overluminous (M_V = -20.4), red (B-V = 0.16 at B-band maximum), slow-rising (t_rise = 24 days) type Ia supern…
