Cepheid Calibrations of Modern Type Ia Supernovae:Implications for the Hubble Constant
Adam G. Riess, Lucas Macri, Weidong Li +9
This is the first of two papers reporting measurements from a program to determine the Hubble constant to 5% precision from a refurbished distance ladder. We present new observatio…
Type II Supernovae as Probes of Cosmology
Dovi Poznanski, Eddie Baron, Stephane Blondin +26
- Constraining the cosmological parameters and understanding Dark Energy have tremendous implications for the nature of the Universe and its physical laws. - The pervasive limit of…
Improved Dark Energy Constraints from ~100 New CfA Supernova Type Ia Light Curves
Malcolm Hicken, W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Stephane Blondin +5
We combine the CfA3 supernova Type Ia (SN Ia) sample with samples from the literature to calculate improved constraints on the dark energy equation of state parameter, w. The CfA3…
CfA3: 185 Type Ia Supernova Light Curves from the CfA
Malcolm Hicken, Peter Challis, Saurabh Jha +5
We present multi-band photometry of 185 type-Ia supernovae (SN Ia), with over 11500 observations. These were acquired between 2001 and 2008 at the F. L. Whipple Observatory of the…
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…
Type Ia Supernovae are Good Standard Candles in the Near Infrared: Evidence from PAIRITEL
W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Andrew S. Friedman, Joshua S. Bloom +11
We have obtained 1087 NIR (JHKs) measurements of 21 SNe Ia using PAIRITEL, nearly doubling the number of well-sampled NIR SN Ia light curves. These data strengthen the evidence tha…
