Improved Distances to Type Ia Supernovae with Two Spectroscopic Subclasses
Xiaofeng Wang, A. V. Filippenko, M. Ganeshalingam +10
We study the observables of 158 relatively normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) by dividing them into two groups in terms of the expansion velocity inferred from the absorption minim…
First Results from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project: The Mass of the Black Hole in Arp 151
Misty C. Bentz, Jonelle L. Walsh, Aaron J. Barth +24
We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 13 ne…
Direct Analysis of Spectra of the Unusual Type Ib Supernova 2005bf
Jerod Parrent, David Branch, M. A. Troxel +6
Synthetic spectra generated with the parameterized supernova synthetic-spectrum code SYNOW are compared to spectra of the unusual Type Ib supernova 2005bf. We confirm the discovery…
The Peculiar SN 2005hk: Do Some Type Ia Supernovae Explode as Deflagrations?
M. M. Phillips, W. Li, J. A. Frieman +41
We present extensive u'g'r'i'BVRIYJHKs photometry and optical spectroscopy of SN 2005hk. These data reveal that SN 2005hk was nearly identical in its observed properties to SN 2002…
A non-spherical core in the explosion of supernova SN 2004dj
Douglas C. Leonard, Alexei V. Filippenko, Mohan Ganeshalingam +9
An important and perhaps critical clue to the mechanism driving the explosion of massive stars as supernovae is provided by the accumulating evidence for asymmetry in the explosion…
