The effect of progenitor age and metallicity on luminosity and 56Ni yield in Type Ia supernovae

D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan, E. F. Brown +23

Timmes, Brown & Truran found that metallicity variations could theoretically account for a 25% variation in the mass of 56Ni synthesized in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and thus ac…

Clustering of supernova Ia host galaxies

R. G. Carlberg, M. Sullivan, D. Le Borgne +16

For the first time the cross-correlation between type Ia supernova host galaxies and surrounding field galaxies is measured using the Supernova Legacy Survey sample. Over the z=0.2…

Type Ia Supernovae Rates and Galaxy Clustering from the CFHT Supernova Legacy Survey

M. L. Graham, C. J. Pritchet, M. Sullivan +25

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) has created a large homogeneous database of intermediate redshift (0.2 < z < 1.0) type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The…

SNLS Spectroscopy: Testing for Evolution in Type Ia Supernovae

T. J. Bronder, I. M. Hook, P. Astier +19

Aims: We present a quantitative study of a new data set of high redshift Type Ia supernovae spectra, observed at the Gemini telescopes during the first 34 months of the Supernova L…

Measurement of Ω_m, Ω_Λ from a blind analysis of Type Ia supernovae with CMAGIC: Using color information to verify the acceleration of the Universe

A. Conley, G. Goldhaber, L. Wang +26

We present measurements of Ω_m and Ω_Λ from a blind analysis of 21 high-redshift supernovae using a new technique (CMAGIC) for fitting the multi-color lightcurves of Type Ia supern…

The Supernova Legacy Survey: Measurement of Omega_M, Omega_Lambda and w from the First Year Data Set

P. Astier, J. Guy, N. Regnault +39

We present distance measurements to 71 high redshift type Ia supernovae discovered during the first year of the 5-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). These events were detected an…
