Results from the Supernova Photometric Classification Challenge
Richard Kessler, Bruce Bassett, Pavel Belov +24
We report results from the Supernova Photometric Classification Challenge (SNPCC), a publicly released mix of simulated supernovae (SNe), with types (Ia, Ibc, and II) selected in p…
Galaxy Zoo 1 : Data Release of Morphological Classifications for nearly 900,000 galaxies
Chris Lintott, Kevin Schawinski, Steven Bamford +11
Morphology is a powerful indicator of a galaxy's dynamical and merger history. It is strongly correlated with many physical parameters, including mass, star formation history and t…
Probing modifications of General Relativity using current cosmological observations
Gong-Bo Zhao, Tommaso Giannantonio, Levon Pogosian +5
We test General Relativity (GR) using current cosmological data: the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from WMAP5 (Komatsu et al. 2009), the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect fro…
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…
