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…

Spectroscopic Observations and Analysis of the Unusual Type Ia SN 1999ac

The Supernova Cosmology Project, :, G. Garavini +55

We present optical spectra of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac. The data extend from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual…

The Linear Theory Power Spectrum from the Lyman-alpha Forest in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

P. McDonald, U. Seljak, R. Cen +12

We analyze the SDSS Ly-alpha forest P_F(k,z) measurement to determine the linear theory power spectrum. Our analysis is based on fully hydrodynamic simulations, extended using hydr…
