SUGAR: An improved empirical model of Type Ia Supernovae based on spectral features
P. -F. Léget, E. Gangler, F. Mondon +40
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are widely used to measure the expansion of the Universe. Improving distance measurements of SNe Ia is one technique to better constrain the acceleratio…
Oxygen and helium in stripped-envelope supernovae
C. Fremling, J. Sollerman, M. M. Kasliwal +23
We present an analysis of 507 spectra of 173 stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) discovered by the untargeted Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and intermediate PTF (iPTF) survey…
Strong Dependence of Type Ia Supernova Standardization on the Local Specific Star Formation Rate
M. Rigault, V. Brinnel, G. Aldering +40
As part of an on-going effort to identify, understand and correct for astrophysics biases in the standardization of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) for cosmology, we have statistically c…
Correcting for peculiar velocities of Type Ia Supernovae in clusters of galaxies
P. -F. Léget, M. V. Pruzhinskaya, A. Ciulli +43
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are widely used to measure the expansion of the Universe. To perform such measurements the luminosity and cosmological redshift () of the SNe Ia have…
