Supernova 2008J: early time observations of a heavily reddened SN 2002ic-like transient
F. Taddia, M. D. Stritzinger, M. M. Phillips +19
We provide additional observational evidence that some Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) show signatures of circumstellar interaction (CSI) with hydrogen-rich material. Early phase optic…
Carnegie Hubble Program: A Mid-Infrared Calibration of the Hubble Constant
Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Victoria Scowcroft +5
Using a mid-infrared calibration of the Cepheid distance scale based on recent observations at 3.6 um with the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have obtained a new, high-accuracy calibr…
The Absolute Magnitude of RRc Variables From Statistical Parallax
Juna A. Kollmeier, Dorota M. Szczygiel, Christopher R. Burns +12
We present the first definitive measurement of the absolute magnitude of RR Lyrae c-type variable stars (RRc) determined purely from statistical parallax. We use a sample of 247 RR…
Linking Type Ia Supernova Progenitors and their Resulting Explosions
Ryan J. Foley, Joshua D. Simon, Christopher R. Burns +7
Comparing the ejecta velocities at maximum brightness and narrow circumstellar/interstellar Na D absorption line profiles of a sample of 23 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we determin…
The Standardizability of Type Ia Supernovae in the Near-Infrared: Evidence for a Peak Luminosity-Decline Rate Relation in the Near-Infrared
ShiAnne Kattner, Douglas C. Leonard, Christopher R. Burns +9
We analyze the standardizability of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the near-infrared (NIR) by investigating the correlation between observed peak NIR absolute magnitude and post-ma…
