Photometry of the Type Ia Supernovae 1999cc, 1999cl, and 2000cf

Kevin Krisciunas, Jose Luis Prieto, Peter M. Garnavich +4

We present previously unpublished BVRI photometry of the Type Ia supernovae 1999cc and 2000cf along with revised photometry of SN 1999cl. We confirm that SN 1999cl is reddened by h…

Echoes from Ancient Supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud

A. Rest, N. B. Suntzeff, K. Olsen +13

In principle, the light from historical supernovae could still be visible as scattered-light echoes even centuries later. However, while echoes have been discovered around some nea…

Supernova Cosmology and the ESSENCE project

Jesper Sollerman, Claudio Aguilera, Andy Becker +27

The proper usage of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators has revolutionized cosmology, and added a new dominant component to the energy density of the Universe, dark…

Testing LMC Microlensing Scenarios: The Discrimination Power of the SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey

A. Rest, C. Stubbs, A. C. Becker +18

Characterizing the nature and spatial distribution of the lensing objects that produce the previously measured microlensing optical depth toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) re…

Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Nine High-Redshift ESSENCE Supernovae

Kevin Krisciunas, Peter M. Garnavich, Peter Challis +29

We present broad-band light curves of nine supernovae ranging in redshift from 0.5 to 0.8. The supernovae were discovered as part of the ESSENCE project, and the light curves are a…
