The Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey
Masao Sako, Bruce Bassett, Andrew C. Becker +46
This paper describes the data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Survey conducted between 2005 and 2007. Light curves, spectra, classifications, and anc…
The Very Young Type Ia Supernova 2013dy: Discovery, and Strong Carbon Absorption in Early-Time Spectra
WeiKang Zheng, Jeffrey M. Silverman, Alexei V. Filippenko +20
The Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2013dy in NGC 7250 (d ~ 13.7 Mpc) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search. Combined with a prediscovery detection by the Italian Super…
Evidence for a correlation between the Si II 4000 width and Type Ia supernova color
J. Nordin, L. Ostman, A. Goobar +8
We study the pseudo equivalent width of the Si II 4000 feature of Type Ia supernovae in the redshift range 0.0024 < z < 0.634. We find that this spectral indicator correlates with…
Observing Supernova 1987A with the Refurbished Hubble Space Telescope
Kevin France, Richard McCray, Kevin Heng +18
Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), conducted since 1990, now offer an unprecedented glimpse into fast astrophysical shocks in the young remnant of supernova 1987A.…
A Measurement of the Rate of Type Ia Supernovae in Galaxy Clusters from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey
Benjamin Dilday, Bruce Bassett, Andrew Becker +32
ABRIDGED We present measurements of the Type Ia supernova (SN) rate in galaxy clusters based on data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Survey. The cluster SN…
First-Year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Results: Constraints on Non-Standard Cosmological Models
J. Sollerman, E. Mörtsell, T. M. Davis +18
We use the new SNe Ia discovered by the SDSS-II Supernova Survey together with additional supernova datasets as well as observations of the cosmic microwave background and baryon a…
First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Results: Hubble Diagram and Cosmological Parameters
Richard Kessler, Andrew Becker, David Cinabro +43
We present measurements of the Hubble diagram for 103 Type Ia supernovae (SNe) with redshifts 0.04 < z < 0.42, discovered during the first season (Fall 2005) of the Sloan Digital S…
The Science Case for PILOT II: the Distant Universe
J. S. Lawrence, M. C. B. Ashley, A. Bunker +10
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5 m optical/infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. The atmospheric…
