Photometric classification of supernovae detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility using noise augmentation

A. Townsend, J. Nordin, M. Kowalski +27

Modern time-domain surveys, such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), detect far more extragalactic transients than can be spectroscopically classified. Photometric classificati…

Study of the anisotropy of cosmic expansion on ZTF type Iasupernovae simulations

C. Barjou-Delayre, P. Rosnet, C. Ravoux +29

The cosmological principle assumes the isotropy of the Universe at large scales. It is a foundational assumption in the CDM model, which is the current standard model of cosmolo…

ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: Characterization of subluminous Type Ia supernovae in the ZTF DR2 full sample

Alaa Alburai, Lluís Galbany, Umut Burgaz +19

The Zwicky Transient Facility Data Release 2 (ZTF DR2) includes a total of 3,628 Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia), providing the largest and most complete sample of spectroscopically co…

ZTF-SEDm Type Ia supernova sample for Twins Embedding spectrophotometric standardisation

C. Ganot, Y. Copin, M. Rigault +26

This paper has two aims: the first one is to build a large homogeneous spectrophotometric Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample, using 3069 spectra from the second Zwicky Transient Faci…

ZTF SNe Ia DR2: Towards cosmology-grade ZTF supernova light curves using scene modeling photometry

L. Lacroix, N. Regnault, T. de Jaeger +36

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is conducting a wide-field survey of the northern sky in three optical bands and the collaboration cosmology working group has released 3628 spe…

ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: Exploring the origin of the Type Ia supernova host galaxy step through Si II velocities

U. Burgaz, K. Maguire, L. Galbany +18

The relationship between Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and their host galaxy stellar masses is well documented. In particular, Hubble residuals display a luminosity shift based on ho…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Improved SN Ia colors through expanded dimensionality with SALT3+

W. D. Kenworthy, A. Goobar, D. O. Jones +24

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are a key probe in modern cosmology, as they can be used to measure luminosity distances at gigaparsec scales. Models of their light-curves are used to…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Simulations and volume limited sample

M. Amenouche, M. Smith, P. Rosnet +27

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) constitute an historical probe to derive cosmological parameters through the fit of the Hubble-Lemaître diagram, i.e. SN Ia distance modulus versus thei…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Overview

Mickael Rigault, Mathew Smith, Ariel Goobar +53

We present the first homogeneous release of several thousand Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), all having spectroscopic classification, and spectroscopic redshifts for half the sample.…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: The diversity and relative rates of the thermonuclear SN population

G. Dimitriadis, U. Burgaz, M. Deckers +28

The Zwicky Transient Facility SN Ia Data Release 2 (ZTF SN Ia DR2) contains more than 3,000 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), providing the largest homogeneous low-redshift sample of SN…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Exploring SN Ia properties in the vicinity of under-dense environments

M. Aubert, P. Rosnet, B. Popovic +29

The unprecedented statistics of detected Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) brought by the Zwicky Transient Facility enables us to probe the impact of the Large-Scale Structure on the pro…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Study of Type Ia Supernova lightcurve fits

M. Rigault, M. Smith, N. Regnault +34

Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology relies on the estimation of lightcurve parameters to derive precision distances that leads to the estimation of cosmological parameters. The emp…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Colour standardisation of Type Ia Supernovae and its dependence on environment

M. Ginolin, M. Rigault, Y. Copin +37

As type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology transitions from a statistics-dominated to a systematics-dominated era, it is crucial to understand the remaining unexplained uncertainties t…

Detectability and Characterisation of Strongly Lensed Supernova Lightcurves in the Zwicky Transient Facility

A. Sagués Carracedo, A. Goobar, E. Mörtsell +7

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) was expected to detect more than one strong gravitationally-lensed supernova (glSN) per year, but only one event was identified in the first fou…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Environmental dependencies of stretch and luminosity of a volume limited sample of 1,000 Type Ia Supernovae

M. Ginolin, M. Rigault, M. Smith +43

To get distances, Type Ia Supernovae magnitudes are corrected for their correlation with lightcurve width and colour. Here we investigate how this standardisation is affected by th…

ZTF SN Ia DR2: Peculiar velocities impact on the Hubble diagram

B. Carreres, D. Rosselli, J. E. Bautista +35

SNe Ia are used to determine the distance-redshift relation and build the Hubble diagram. Neglecting their host-galaxy peculiar velocities (PVs) may bias the measurement of cosmolo…
