Multiple Images of a Highly Magnified Supernova Formed by an Early-Type Cluster Galaxy Lens
Patrick L. Kelly, Steven A. Rodney, Tommaso Treu +28
In 1964, Refsdal hypothesized that a supernova whose light traversed multiple paths around a strong gravitational lens could be used to measure the rate of cosmic expansion. We rep…
An ultraviolet-optical flare from the tidal disruption of a helium-rich stellar core
S. Gezari, R. Chornock, A. Rest +31
The flare of radiation from the tidal disruption and accretion of a star can be used as a marker for supermassive black holes that otherwise lie dormant and undetected in the centr…
The Hubble constant and new discoveries in cosmology
S. H. Suyu, T. Treu, R. D. Blandford +22
We report the outcome of a 3-day workshop on the Hubble constant (H_0) that took place during February 6-8 2012 at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, on t…
The Rise and Fall of Type Ia Supernova Light Curves in the SDSS-II Supernova Survey
Brian T. Hayden, Peter M. Garnavich, Richard Kessler +13
We analyze the rise and fall times of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) light curves discovered by the SDSS-II Supernova Survey. From a set of 391 light curves k-corrected to the rest fram…
