Ca hnk: Calcium-rich Transient SN 2016hnk from the Helium Shell Detonation of a Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarf
Wynn V. Jacobson-Galán, Abigail Polin, Ryan J. Foley +11
We present observations and modeling of SN 2016hnk, a Ca-rich supernova (SN) that is consistent with being the result of a He-shell double-detonation explosion of a C/O white dwarf…
Investigating the Diversity of Type Ia Supernova Spectra with the Open-Source Relational Database Kaepora
M. R. Siebert, R. J. Foley, D. O. Jones +10
We present a public, open-source relational database (we name kaepora) containing a sample of 4975 spectra of 777 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Since we draw from many sources, we s…
The Next Generation of Cosmological Measurements with Type Ia Supernovae
Dan Scolnic, Saul Perlmutter, Greg Aldering +56
While Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are one of the most mature cosmological probes, the next era promises to be extremely exciting in the number of different ways SNe Ia are used to…
WFIRST: Enhancing Transient Science and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
Ryan J. Foley, Joshua S. Bloom, S. Bradley Cenko +31
Astrophysical transients have been observed for millennia and have shaped our most basic assumptions about the Universe. In the last century, systematic searches have grown from de…
Type Ia Supernovae are Excellent Standard Candles in the Near-Infrared
Arturo Avelino, Andrew S. Friedman, Kaisey S. Mandel +3
We analyze a set of 89 Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) that have both optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry to derive distances and construct low redshift () Hubble diagr…
