Supernova Legacy Survey: Using Spectral Signatures To Improve Type Ia Supernovae As Distance Indicators
E. S. Walker, I. M. Hook, M. Sullivan +22
GMOS optical long-slit spectroscopy at the Gemini-North telescope was used to classify targets from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) from July 2005 and May 2006 - May 2008. Durin…
SNLS Spectroscopy: Testing for Evolution in Type Ia Supernovae
T. J. Bronder, I. M. Hook, P. Astier +19
Aims: We present a quantitative study of a new data set of high redshift Type Ia supernovae spectra, observed at the Gemini telescopes during the first 34 months of the Supernova L…
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…
Gemini Spectroscopy of Supernovae from SNLS: Improving High Redshift SN Selection and Classification
D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan, K. Perrett +22
We present new techiques for improving the efficiency of supernova (SN) classification at high redshift using 64 candidates observed at Gemini North and South during the first year…
