An analysis of the Type Ia SN 2024gy and a comparison of different host extinction estimation techniques
Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Cillian O'Donnell +38
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are well-known standardisable candles, and are one of the main ways to measure the distance to their host galaxies. However, extinction due to interstel…
Exploring the origins of high-velocity features in SNe Ia with the spectral synthesis code TARDIS
Luke Harvey, Kate Maguire, Alexander Holas +8
Appearing as secondary higher-velocity absorption components, high-velocity features (HVFs) have been observed in several absorption lines in many Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The…
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: High-velocity components in the Si II 6355
L. Harvey, K. Maguire, U. Burgaz +27
The ZTF SN Ia Data Release 2 provides a perfect opportunity to perform a thorough search for, and subsequent analysis of, high-velocity components in the Si II 6355 feature in…
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: Properties of the low-mass host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae in a volume-limited sample
U. Burgaz, K. Maguire, G. Dimitriadis +25
In this study, we explore the characteristics of `low-mass' () and `intermediate-mass' () host galaxies o…
