Nonlinear Decline-Rate Dependence and Intrinsic Variation of Type Ia Supernova Luminosities

Lifan Wang, Mark Strovink, Alexander Conley +4

Published B and V fluxes from nearby Type Ia supernovae are fitted to light-curve templates with 4-6 adjustable parameters. Separately, B magnitudes from the same sample are fitted…

GRB 050408: An Atypical Gamma-Ray Burst as a Probe of an Atypical Galactic Environment

R. J. Foley, D. A. Perley, D. Pooley +14

The bright GRB 050408 was localized by HETE-II near local midnight, enabling an impressive ground-based followup effort as well as space-based followup from Swift. The Swift data f…

Photometric selection of high-redshift type Ia supernovae

M. Sullivan, D. A. Howell, K. Perrett +26

We present a method for selecting high-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) located via rolling SN searches. The technique, using both color and magnitude information of events fro…

Gemini Spectroscopy of Supernovae from SNLS: Improving High Redshift SN Selection and Classification

D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan, K. Perrett +22

We present new techiques for improving the efficiency of supernova (SN) classification at high redshift using 64 candidates observed at Gemini North and South during the first year…

Spectra of High-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae and a Comparison with their Low-Redshift Counterparts

I. M. Hook, D. A. Howell, G. Aldering +32

We present spectra for 14 high-redshift (0.17 < z < 0.83) supernovae, which were discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project as part of a campaign to measure cosmological paramet…

A Definitive Measurement of Time Dilation in the Spectral Evolution of the Moderate-Redshift Type Ia Supernova 1997ex

R. J. Foley, A. V. Filippenko, D. C. Leonard +3

We have obtained high-quality Keck optical spectra at three epochs of the Type Ia supernova 1997ex, whose redshift z is 0.361. The elapsed calendar time between the first two spect…
