Polarimetry of the Type Ia Supernova SN 1996X
Lifan Wang, J. Craig Wheeler, Peter Hoeflich
We present broad-band and spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 1996X obtained on April 14, 1996 (UT), and broad-band polarimetry of SN 1996X on May 22,1996, when the supernova was…
Maximum Brightness and Post-Maximum Decline of Light Curves of SN~Ia: A Comparison of Theory and Observations
P. Höflich, A. Khokhlov, J. C. Wheeler +3
We compare the observed correlations between the maximum brightness, postmaximum decline rate and color at maximum light of Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) with model predictions. The o…
Broad Band Polarimetry of Supernovae: SN1994D, SN1994Y, SN1994ae, SN1995D and SN 1995H
Lifan Wang, J. Craig Wheeler, Zongwei Li +1
We have made polarimetric observations of three Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) and two type II supernovae (SN II). No significant polarization was detected for any of the SN Ia down to…
