SUGAR: An improved empirical model of Type Ia Supernovae based on spectral features
P. -F. Léget, E. Gangler, F. Mondon +40

SNEMO: Improved Empirical Models for Type Ia Supernovae
C. Saunders, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +39
Type Ia supernova cosmology depends on the ability to fit and standardize observations of supernova magnitudes with an empirical model. We present here a series of new models of Ty…
Strong Dependence of Type Ia Supernova Standardization on the Local Specific Star Formation Rate
M. Rigault, V. Brinnel, G. Aldering +40
As part of an on-going effort to identify, understand and correct for astrophysics biases in the standardization of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) for cosmology, we have statistically c…
Correcting for peculiar velocities of Type Ia Supernovae in clusters of galaxies
P. -F. Léget, M. V. Pruzhinskaya, A. Ciulli +43
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are widely used to measure the expansion of the Universe. To perform such measurements the luminosity and cosmological redshift () of the SNe Ia have…
Improving Cosmological Distance Measurements Using Twin Type Ia Supernovae
H. K. Fakhouri, K. Boone, G. Aldering +41
We introduce a method for identifying "twin" Type Ia supernovae, and using them to improve distance measurements. This novel approach to Type Ia supernova standardization is made p…
UNITY: Confronting Supernova Cosmology's Statistical and Systematic Uncertainties in a Unified Bayesian Framework
David Rubin, Greg Aldering, Kyle Barbary +12
While recent supernova cosmology research has benefited from improved measurements, current analysis approaches are not statistically optimal and will prove insufficient for future…

Jun E. Okumura, Yutaka Ihara, Mamoru Doi +15
We present measurements of the rates of high-redshift Type Ia supernovae derived from the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS). We carried out repeat deep imaging observations with…
Lensed Type Ia Supernovae as Probes of Cluster Mass Models
