The fast declining Type Ia supernova 2003gs, and evidence for a significant dispersion in near-infrared absolute magnitudes of fast decliners at maximum light

Kevin Krisciunas, G. H. Marion, Nicholas B. Suntzeff +17

We obtained optical photometry of SN 2003gs on 49 nights, from 2 to 494 days after T(B_max). We also obtained near-IR photometry on 21 nights. SN 2003gs was the first fast declinin…

LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310

(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…

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…

Supernova progenitors and iron density evolution from SN rate evolution measurements

Guillaume Blanc, Laura Greggio

Using an extensive compilation of literature supernova rate data we study to which extent its evolution constrains the star formation history, the distribution of the type Ia super…

Quantitative comparison between Type Ia supernova spectra at low and high redshifts: A case study

G. Garavini, G. Folatelli, S. Nobili +44

We develop a method to measure the strength of the absorption features in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) spectra and use it to make a quantitative comparison between the spectra of Type…
