The Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey

Masao Sako, Bruce Bassett, Andrew C. Becker +46

This paper describes the data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Survey conducted between 2005 and 2007. Light curves, spectra, classifications, and anc…

Type Ia Supernova Properties as a Function of the Distance to the Host Galaxy in the SDSS-II SN Survey

Lluis Galbany, Ramon Miquel, Linda Ostman +22

We use type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the SDSS-II SN Survey to search for dependencies between SN Ia properties and the projected distance to the host galaxy center, usi…

Evidence for a correlation between the Si II 4000 width and Type Ia supernova color

J. Nordin, L. Ostman, A. Goobar +8

We study the pseudo equivalent width of the Si II 4000 feature of Type Ia supernovae in the redshift range 0.0024 < z < 0.634. We find that this spectral indicator correlates with…

Optical discovery of probable stellar tidal disruption flares

Sjoert van Velzen, Glennys R. Farrar, Suvi Gezari +6

Using archival SDSS multi-epoch imaging data (Stripe 82), we have searched for the tidal disruption of stars by super-massive black holes in non-active galaxies. Two candidate tida…

The Effect of Host Galaxies on Type Ia Supernovae in the SDSS-II Supernova Survey

Hubert Lampeitl, Mathew Smith, Robert C. Nichol +18

We present an analysis of the host galaxy dependencies of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) from the full three year sample of the SDSS-II Supernova Survey. We rediscover, to high signif…

A Measurement of the Rate of Type Ia Supernovae in Galaxy Clusters from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey

Benjamin Dilday, Bruce Bassett, Andrew Becker +32

ABRIDGED We present measurements of the Type Ia supernova (SN) rate in galaxy clusters based on data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Survey. The cluster SN…
