Improving Cosmological Distance Measurements Using Twin Type Ia Supernovae
H. K. Fakhouri, K. Boone, G. Aldering +41
We introduce a method for identifying "twin" Type Ia supernovae, and using them to improve distance measurements. This novel approach to Type Ia supernova standardization is made p…
SN 2009ip at late times - an interacting transient at +2 years
Morgan Fraser, Rubina Kotak, Andrea Pastorello +31
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the interacting transient SN 2009ip taken during the 2013 and 2014 observing seasons. We characterise the photometric evolu…
Confirmation of a Star Formation Bias in Type Ia Supernova Distances and its Effect on Measurement of the Hubble Constant
M. Rigault, G. Aldering, M. Kowalski +35
Previously we used the Nearby Supernova Factory sample to show that SNe~Ia having locally star-forming environments are dimmer than SNe~Ia having locally passive environments.Here…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
Type Ia Supernova Hubble Residuals and Host-Galaxy Properties
A. G. Kim, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +33
Kim et al. (2013) [K13] introduced a new methodology for determining peak-brightness absolute magnitudes of type Ia supernovae from multi-band light curves. We examine the relation…
The supernova CSS121015:004244+132827: a clue for understanding super-luminous supernovae
S. Benetti, M. Nicholl, E. Cappellaro +24
We present optical photometry and spectra of the super luminous type II/IIn supernova CSS121015:004244+132827 (z=0.2868) spanning epochs from -30 days (rest frame) to more than 200…
