Light Curves of 213 Type Ia Supernovae from the ESSENCE Survey

Gautham Narayan, Armin Rest, Brad E. Tucker +34

The ESSENCE survey discovered 213 Type Ia supernovae at redshifts 0.1 < z < 0.81 between 2002 and 2008. We present their R and I-band photometry, measured from images obtained usin…

Evidence for Type Ia Supernova Diversity from Ultraviolet Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope

Xiaofeng Wang, Lifan Wang, Alexei V. Filippenko +93

We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and photometry of four Type Ia supernovae (SNe 2004dt, 2004ef, 2005M, and 2005cf) obtained with the UV prism of the Advanced Camera for Sur…

High Amplitude δ-Scutis in the Large Magellanic Cloud

A. Garg, K. H. Cook, S. Nikolaev +13

We present 2323 High-Amplitude δ-Scuti (HADS) candidates discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by the SuperMACHO survey (Rest et al. 2005). Frequency analyses of these can…

Pushing the Boundaries of Conventional Core-Collapse Supernovae: The Extremely Energetic Supernova SN 2003ma

A. Rest, R. J. Foley, S. Gezari +34

We report the discovery of a supernova (SN) with the highest apparent energy output to date and conclude that it represents an extreme example of the Type IIn subclass. The SN, whi…

The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: III. Stellar Kinematics

N. A. Bond, Z. Ivezic, B. Sesar +2

We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r<20 and proper-motion measurements derived from SDSS and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000…
