Rates and delay times of type Ia supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey

P. Wiseman, M. Sullivan, M. Smith +87

We use a sample of 809 photometrically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) along with 40415 field galaxies to calculate the rate of SN…

Understanding the extreme luminosity of DES14X2fna

M. Grayling, C. P. Gutiérrez, M. Sullivan +66

We present DES14X2fna, a high-luminosity, fast-declining type IIb supernova (SN IIb) at redshift , detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). DES14X2fna is an unusual memb…

The Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program: Modelling selection efficiency and observed core collapse supernova contamination

M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan, O. Graur +79

The analysis of current and future cosmological surveys of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at high-redshift depends on the accurate photometric classification of the SN events detected…

The Effect of Environment on Type Ia Supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey Three-Year Cosmological Sample

L. Kelsey, M. Sullivan, M. Smith +73

Analyses of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have found puzzling correlations between their standardised luminosities and host galaxy properties: SNe Ia in high-mass, passive hosts appe…

The Host Galaxies of Rapidly Evolving Transients in the Dark Energy Survey

P. Wiseman, M. Pursiainen, M. Childress +72

Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients (FBOTs), are a distinct class of astrophysical event. They are characterised by lightcurves that declin…

Supernova Siblings: Assessing the Consistency of Properties of Type Ia Supernovae that Share the Same Parent Galaxies

D. Scolnic, M. Smith, A. Massiah +82

While many studies have shown a correlation between properties of the light curves of Type Ia SN (SNe Ia) and properties of their host galaxies, it remains unclear what is driving…
