An Agnostic Approach to Building Empirical Type Ia Supernova Light Curves: Evidence for Intrinsic Chromatic Flux Variation Using Nearby Supernova Factory Data
Jared Hand, A. G. Kim, G. Aldering +35
We present a new empirical Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) model with three chromatic flux variation templates: one phase dependent and two phase independent. No underlying dust extincti…
Core-collapse Supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey: Luminosity Functions and Host Galaxy Demographics
M. Grayling, C. P. Gutiérrez, M. Sullivan +73
We present the luminosity functions and host galaxy properties of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) core-collapse supernova (CCSN) sample, consisting of 69 Type II and 50 Type Ibc spect…
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…
From core collapse to superluminous: The rates of massive stellar explosions from the Palomar Transient Factory
C. Frohmaier, C. R. Angus, M. Vincenzi +8
We present measurements of the local core collapse supernova (SN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of…
The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy
M. Pursiainen, C. Gutierrez, P. Wiseman +80
We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves wh…
Spectrophotometric templates for core collapse supernovae and their application in simulations of time-domain surveys
M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan, R. E. Firth +5
The design and analysis of time-domain sky surveys requires the ability to simulate accurately realistic populations of core collapse supernova (SN) events. We present a set of spe…
