Constraining Cosmic Evolution of Type Ia Supernovae

Ryan J. Foley, A. V. Filippenko, C. Aguilera +27

We present the first large-scale effort of creating composite spectra of high-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and comparing them to low-redshift counterparts. Through the ESSE…

The ESSENCE Supernova Survey: Survey Optimization, Observations, and Supernova Photometry

G. Miknaitis, G. Pignata, A. Rest +33

We describe the implementation and optimization of the ESSENCE supernova survey, which we have undertaken to measure the equation of state parameter of the dark energy. We present…

Observational Constraints on the Nature of the Dark Energy: First Cosmological Results from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey

W. M. Wood-Vasey, G. Miknaitis, C. W. Stubbs +34

We present constraints on the dark energy equation-of-state parameter, w=P/(rho c^2), using 60 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the ESSENCE supernova survey. We derive a set of con…

Scrutinizing Exotic Cosmological Models Using ESSENCE Supernova Data Combined with Other Cosmological Probes

T. M. Davis, E. Mortsell, J. Sollerman +24

The first cosmological results from the ESSENCE supernova survey (Wood-Vasey et al. 2007) are extended to a wider range of cosmological models including dynamical dark energy and n…

The system parameters of DW Ursae Majoris

S. Araujo-Betancor, C. Knigge, K. S. Long +8

We present new constraints on the system parameters of the SW Sextantis star DW Ursae Majoris, based on ultraviolet (UV) eclipse observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. Our d…

The multiperiodicity of the Doradus stars HD 224945 and HD 224638 as detected from a multisite campaign

E. Poretti, C. Koen, M. Bossi +8

We discuss new photometric data collected on the gamma Dor variables HD 224945 and HD 224638. Multiperiodicity was detected in both stars, thanks to the clear spectral window of a…
