Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Supernovae from the ESSENCE Project: The First Four Years
R. J. Foley, T. Matheson, S. Blondin +23
We present the results of spectroscopic observations from the ESSENCE high-redshift supernova (SN) survey during its first four years of operation. This sample includes spectra of…
Improved Cosmological Constraints from New, Old and Combined Supernova Datasets
M. Kowalski, D. Rubin, G. Aldering +67
We present a new compilation of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a new dataset of low-redshift nearby-Hubble-flow SNe and new analysis procedures to work with these heterogeneous compi…
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…
Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Supernovae from the ESSENCE Project: The First Two Years
T. Matheson, S. Blondin, R. J. Foley +28
We present the results of spectroscopic observations of targets discovered during the first two years of the ESSENCE project. The goal of ESSENCE is to use a sample of ~200 Type Ia…
The Type Ia Supernova 1999aw: a Probable 1999aa-like Event In a Low-Luminosity Host Galaxy
L. -G. Strolger, R. C. Smith, N. B. Suntzeff +39
SN 1999aw was discovered during the first campaign of the Nearby Galaxies Supernova Search (NGSS) project. This luminous, slow-declining (Delta m_{15} (B) = 0.81 \pm 0.03) Type Ia…
The Rapid Decay of the Optical Emission from GRB 980326 and its Possible Implications
Paul J. Groot, Titus J. Galama, Paul M. Vreeswijk
We report the discovery of the optical counterpart to GRB 980326. Its rapid optical decay can be characterized by a power law with exponent -2.10 +/- 0.13 and a constant underlying…
