Dark energy constraints and correlations with systematics from CFHTLS weak lensing, SNLS supernovae Ia and WMAP5
M. Kilbinger, K. Benabed, J. Guy +15
We combine measurements of weak gravitational lensing from the CFHTLS-Wide survey, supernovae Ia from CFHT SNLS and CMB anisotropies from WMAP5 to obtain joint constraints on cosmo…
SiFTO: An Empirical Method for Fitting SNe Ia Light Curves
A. Conley, M. Sullivan, E. Y. Hsiao +14
We present SiFTO, a new empirical method for modeling type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) light curves by manipulating a spectral template. We make use of high-redshift SN observations whe…
The Rise Time of Type Ia Supernovae from the Supernova Legacy Survey
A. Conley, D. A. Howell, A. Howes +24
We compare the rise times of nearby and distant Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a test for evolution using 73 high-redshift spectroscopically-confirmed SNe Ia from the first two yea…
Rates and properties of type Ia supernovae as a function of mass and star-formation in their host galaxies
M. Sullivan, D. Le Borgne, C. J. Pritchet +27
(ABRIDGED) We show that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are formed within both very young and old stellar populations, with observed rates that depend on the stellar mass and mean star…
The Type Ia Supernova Rate at z ~0.5 from the Supernova Legacy Survey
J. D. Neill, M. Sullivan, D. Balam +33
We present a measurement of the distant Type Ia supernova rate derived from the first two years of the Canada -- France -- Hawaii Telescope Supernova Legacy Survey. We observed fou…
Photometric selection of high-redshift type Ia supernovae
M. Sullivan, D. A. Howell, K. Perrett +26
We present a method for selecting high-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) located via rolling SN searches. The technique, using both color and magnitude information of events fro…
