Supernova 2011fe from an Exploding Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarf Star
Peter E. Nugent, Mark Sullivan, S. Bradley Cenko +36
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been used empirically as standardized candles to reveal the accelerating universe even though fundamental details, such as the nature of the progen…
Photometric selection of Type Ia supernovae in the Supernova Legacy Survey
G. Bazin, V. Ruhlmann-Kleider, N. Palanque-Delabrouille +23
We present a sample of 485 photometrically identified Type Ia supernova candidates mined from the first three years of data of the CFHT SuperNova Legacy Survey (SNLS). The images w…
PTF11eon/SN2011dh: Discovery of a Type IIb Supernova From a Compact Progenitor in the Nearby Galaxy M51
Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +40
On May 31, 2011 UT a supernova (SN) exploded in the nearby galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). We discovered this event using small telescopes equipped with CCD cameras, as well as…
Real-Time Detection and Rapid Multiwavelength Follow-up Observations of a Highly Subluminous Type II-P Supernova from the Palomar Transient Factory Survey
Avishay Gal-Yam, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Iair Arcavi +29
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is an optical wide-field variability survey carried out using a camera with a 7.8 square degree field of view mounted on the 48-in Oschin Schmid…
Supernova Constraints and Systematic Uncertainties from the First 3 Years of the Supernova Legacy Survey
A. Conley, J. Guy, M. Sullivan +33
We combine high redshift Type Ia supernovae from the first 3 years of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) with other supernova (SN) samples, primarily at lower redshifts, to form a…
SNLS3: Constraints on Dark Energy Combining the Supernova Legacy Survey Three Year Data with Other Probes
M. Sullivan, J. Guy, A. Conley +33
We present observational constraints on the nature of dark energy using the Supernova Legacy Survey three year sample (SNLS3) of Guy et al. (2010) and Conley et al. (2011). We use…
