Still non-accelerating: age-bias correction in supernova cosmology is robust to host-progenitor age mapping
Chul Chung, Junhyuk Son, Seunghyun Park +4
We re-examine the claim by Wiseman et al. (2026) that progenitor-age bias has a negligible impact on cosmological inferences from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We show that their in…
Strong Progenitor Age Bias in Supernova Cosmology. III. Progenitor Age as the Physical Origin of the Type Ia Supernova Magnitude Steps with Host Properties
Seunghyun Park, Young-Wook Lee, Chul Chung +4
The standardized magnitude of a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) correlates with host-galaxy properties, and a host mass-step correction is now routinely included in SN Ia luminosity stan…
SN Ia Population Machine. I. A Unified Cosmological Simulation-Binary Synthesis Framework Establishing Non-universal Delay-time Distributions and Cosmic Progenitor-channel Dominance Crossover
Suk-Jin Yoon, Inhyuk Park, Woong-Bae G. Zee +6
We present a forward-modeling framework for synthesizing Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) populations by coupling cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to binary population synthesis (BPS…
How Robust is the Cosmic Distance with Tip of Red Giant Branch against Stellar Population Variations?
Chul Chung, Young-Wook Lee, Suk-Jin Yoon +10
The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) provides a key standard candle for extragalactic distance measurements and for refining the Hubble constant. We test its robustness by quanti…
Strong Progenitor Age-bias in Supernova Cosmology. II. Alignment with DESI BAO and Signs of a Non-Accelerating Universe
Junhyuk Son, Young-Wook Lee, Chul Chung +2
Supernova (SN) cosmology is based on the key assumption that the luminosity standardization process of Type Ia SNe remains invariant with progenitor age. However, direct and extens…
Testing the effect of progenitor's metallicity on Ni mass and constraining the progenitor scenarios in Type Ia supernovae
Young-Lo Kim, Chul Chung, Yong -Cheol Kim
The analytical model found that the intrinsic variation in the initial metallicity of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor stars () translates into a 25% variat…
