A Golden Standard Type Ia Supernova SN 2005cf: Observations from the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared Wavebands
Xiaofeng Wang, Weidong Li, Alexei V. Filippenko +31
We present extensive photometry at ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, as well as dense sampling of optical spectra, for the normal type Ia supernova (S…
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…
Improved Standardization of Type II-P Supernovae: Application to an Expanded Sample
Dovi Poznanski, Nathaniel Butler, Alexei V. Filippenko +16
In the epoch of precise and accurate cosmology, cross-confirmation using a variety of cosmographic methods is paramount to circumvent systematic uncertainties. Owing to progenitor…
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…
