Microlensing of lensed supernovae Zwicky & iPTF16geu: constraints on the lens galaxy mass slope and dark compact object fraction
Nikki Arendse, Edvard Mörtsell, Luke Weisenbach +9
To date, only two strongly lensed type Ia supernovae (SNIa) have been discovered with an isolated galaxy acting as the lens: iPTF16geu and SN Zwicky. The observed image fluxes for…
Bird-Snack: Bayesian Inference of dust law Distributions using SN Ia Apparent Colours at peaK
Sam M. Ward, Suhail Dhawan, Kaisey S. Mandel +2
To reduce systematic uncertainties in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology, the host galaxy dust law shape parameter, , must be accurately constrained. We thus develop a comput…
Testing the Consistency of Dust Laws in SN Ia Host Galaxies: A BayeSN Examination of Foundation DR1
Stephen Thorp, Kaisey S. Mandel, David O. Jones +2
We apply BayeSN, our new hierarchical Bayesian model for the SEDs of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), to analyse the light curves of 157 nearby SNe Ia () from the…
Tidal disruption events from massive black hole binaries: predictions for ongoing and future surveys
Stephen Thorp, Eli Chadwick, Alberto Sesana
We compute the expected cosmic rates of tidal disruption events induced by individual massive black holes (MBHs) and by MBH binaries (MBHBs) - with a specific focus on the latter c…
