The ESO's VLT Type Ia supernova spectral set of the final two years of SNLS

C. Balland, F. Cellier-Holzem, C. Lidman +24

We aim to present 70 spectra of 68 new high-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) measured at ESO's VLT during the final two years of operation (2006-2008) of the Supernova Legacy Su…

Extending the supernova Hubble diagram to z~1.5 with the Euclid space mission

P. Astier, C. Balland, M. Brescia +25

We forecast dark energy constraints that could be obtained from a new large sample of Type Ia supernovae where those at high redshift are acquired with the Euclid space mission. We…

Improved cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of the SDSS-II and SNLS supernova samples

M. Betoule, R. Kessler, J. Guy +60

We present cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations obtained by the SDSS-II and SNLS collaborations. The data set includes several l…

Two superluminous supernovae from the early universe discovered by the Supernova Legacy Survey

D. A. Howell, D. Kasen, C. Lidman +14

We present spectra and lightcurves of SNLS 06D4eu and SNLS 07D2bv, two hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae discovered by the Supernova Legacy Survey. At z = 1.588, SNLS 06D4eu i…

Photometry of supernovae in an image series : methods and application to the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS)

P. Astier, P. El Hage, J. Guy +6

We present a technique to measure lightcurves of time-variable point sources on a spatially structured background from imaging data. The technique was developed to measure light cu…

Improved Photometric Calibration of the SNLS and the SDSS Supernova Surveys

M. Betoule, J. Marriner, N. Regnault +13

We present a combined photometric calibration of the SNLS and the SDSS supernova survey, which results from a joint effort of the SDSS and the SNLS collaborations. We deliver fluxe…
