The effect of progenitor age and metallicity on luminosity and 56Ni yield in Type Ia supernovae
D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan, E. F. Brown +23
Timmes, Brown & Truran found that metallicity variations could theoretically account for a 25% variation in the mass of 56Ni synthesized in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and thus ac…
Clustering of supernova Ia host galaxies
R. G. Carlberg, M. Sullivan, D. Le Borgne +16
For the first time the cross-correlation between type Ia supernova host galaxies and surrounding field galaxies is measured using the Supernova Legacy Survey sample. Over the z=0.2…
SiFTO: An Empirical Method for Fitting SNe Ia Light Curves
A. Conley, M. Sullivan, E. Y. Hsiao +14
We present SiFTO, a new empirical method for modeling type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) light curves by manipulating a spectral template. We make use of high-redshift SN observations whe…
Type Ia Supernovae Rates and Galaxy Clustering from the CFHT Supernova Legacy Survey
M. L. Graham, C. J. Pritchet, M. Sullivan +25
The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) has created a large homogeneous database of intermediate redshift (0.2 < z < 1.0) type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The…
Verifying the Cosmological Utility of Type Ia Supernovae: Implications of a Dispersion in the Ultraviolet Spectra
R. S. Ellis, M. Sullivan, P. E. Nugent +16
We analyze the mean rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectrum of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) and its dispersion using high signal-to-noise Keck-I/LRIS-B spectroscopy for a sample of 36…
SNLS Spectroscopy: Testing for Evolution in Type Ia Supernovae
T. J. Bronder, I. M. Hook, P. Astier +19
Aims: We present a quantitative study of a new data set of high redshift Type Ia supernovae spectra, observed at the Gemini telescopes during the first 34 months of the Supernova L…
