Echoes from Ancient Supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. Rest, N. B. Suntzeff, K. Olsen +13
In principle, the light from historical supernovae could still be visible as scattered-light echoes even centuries later. However, while echoes have been discovered around some nea…
Supernova Cosmology and the ESSENCE project
Jesper Sollerman, Claudio Aguilera, Andy Becker +27
The proper usage of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators has revolutionized cosmology, and added a new dominant component to the energy density of the Universe, dark…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Nine High-Redshift ESSENCE Supernovae
Kevin Krisciunas, Peter M. Garnavich, Peter Challis +29
We present broad-band light curves of nine supernovae ranging in redshift from 0.5 to 0.8. The supernovae were discovered as part of the ESSENCE project, and the light curves are a…
Limits from the Hubble Space Telescope on a Point Source in SN 1987A
G. J. M. Graves, P. M. Challis, R. A. Chevalier +16
We observed supernova 1987A (SN 1987A) with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 1999 September, and again with the Advanced Camer…
An Atlas of Spectrophotometric Landolt Standard Stars
Maximilian Stritzinger, Nicholas B. Suntzeff, Mario Hamuy +4
We present CCD observations of 102 Landolt standard stars obtained with the R-C spectrograph on the CTIO 1.5 m telescope. Using stellar atmosphere models we have extended the flux…
Supernova 1954J (Variable 12) in NGC 2403 Unmasked
S. D. Van Dyk, A. V. Filippenko, R. Chornock +2
We have confirmed that the precursor star of the unusual Supernova 1954J (also known as Variable 12) in NGC 2403 survived what appears to have been a super-outburst, similar to the…
