Weak Lensing from Space III: Cosmological Parameters
Alexandre Refregier, Richard Massey, Jason Rhodes +6
Weak gravitational lensing provides a unique method to directly map the dark matter in the universe and measure cosmological parameters. Current weak lensing surveys are limited by…
Weak Lensing from Space II: Dark Matter Mapping
Richard Massey, Jason Rhodes, Alexandre Refregier +8
We study the accuracy with which weak lensing measurements could be made from a future space-based survey, predicting the subsequent precisions of 3-dimensional dark matter maps, p…
Measuring Cosmology with Supernovae
Saul Perlmutter, Brian P. Schmidt
Over the past decade, supernovae have emerged as some of the most powerful tools for measuring extragalactic distances. A well developed physical understanding of type II supernova…
Spectropolarimetry of SN 2001el in NGC 1448: Asphericity of a Normal Type Ia Supernova
Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade, Peter Hoeflich +6
High-quality spectropolarimetry (range 417-860 nm; spectral resolution 1.27 nm and 0.265 nm/pixel) of the SN Ia 2001el were obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope Melipal (+ FO…
Multi-Color Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae on the Color-Magnitude Diagram: a Novel Step Toward More Precise Distance and Extinction Estimates
Lifan Wang, Gerson Goldhaber, Greg Aldering +1
We show empirically that fits to the color-magnitude relation of Type Ia supernovae after optical maximum can provide accurate relative extragalactic distances. We report the disco…
