Determination of the Hubble constant, the intrinsic scatter of luminosities of Type Ia SNe, and evidence for non-standard dust in other galaxies
Xiaofeng Wang, Lifan Wang, Reynald Pain +2
A sample of 109 type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with recession velocity < 30,000 km s^{-1}, is compiled from published SNe Ia light curves to explore the expansion rate of the local Un…
Chandra Observation of the Cluster of Galaxies MS 0839.9+2938 at z=0.194: the Central Excess Iron and SN Ia Enrichment
Yu Wang, Haiguang Xu, Zhongli Zhang +4
We present the Chandra study of the intermediately distant cluster of galaxies MS 0839.9+2938. By performing both the projected and deprojected spectral analyses, we find that the…
The Progenitor of Supernova 2004dj in a Star Cluster
Xiaofeng Wang, Yanbin Yang, Tianmeng Zhang +5
The progenitor of type II-plateau supernova (SN) 2004dj is identified with a supergiant in a compact star cluster known as "Sandage Star 96" (S96) in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2…
A Novel Color Parameter As A Luminosity Calibrator for Type Ia Supernovae
Xiaofeng Wang, Lifan Wang, Xu Zhou +2
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide us with a unique tool for measuring extragalactic distances and determining cosmological parameters. As a result, the precise and effective cali…
Optical Photometry of SN 1993J: Years 1995 to 2003
Tianmeng Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, Xu Zhou +4
In this paper, the late-time optical photometry of supernova (SN) 1993J in M81 from Feburary 1995 to Janurary 2003 is presented. The observations were performed in a set of interme…
Broad Band Polarimetry of Supernovae: SN1994D, SN1994Y, SN1994ae, SN1995D and SN 1995H
Lifan Wang, J. Craig Wheeler, Zongwei Li +1
We have made polarimetric observations of three Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) and two type II supernovae (SN II). No significant polarization was detected for any of the SN Ia down to…
