First-Year Spectroscopy for the SDSS-II Supernova Survey
Chen Zheng, Roger W. Romani, Masao Sako +77
This paper presents spectroscopy of supernovae discovered in the first season of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey. This program searches for and measures multi-band…
Two More Candidate AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
S. F. Anderson, A. C. Becker, D. Haggard +18
AM CVn systems are a select group of ultracompact binaries with the shortest orbital periods of any known binary subclass; mass-transfer is likely from a low-mass (partially-)degen…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Search Algorithm and Follow-up Observations
Masao Sako, B. Bassett, A. Becker +47
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey has identified a large number of new transient sources in a 300 sq. deg. region along the celestial equator during its first two se…
Observational Constraints on the Nature of the Dark Energy: First Cosmological Results from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey
W. M. Wood-Vasey, G. Miknaitis, C. W. Stubbs +34
We present constraints on the dark energy equation-of-state parameter, w=P/(rho c^2), using 60 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the ESSENCE supernova survey. We derive a set of con…
