Optical and Infrared Photometry of the Nearby Type Ia Supernovae 1999ee, 2000bh, 2000ca, and 2001ba

Kevin Krisciunas, Mark M. Phillips, Nicholas B. Suntzeff +20

We present near infrared photometry of the Type Ia supernova 1999ee; also, optical and infrared photometry of the Type Ia SNe 2000bh, 2000ca, and 2001ba. For SNe 1999ee and 2000bh…

Could There Be A Hole In Type Ia Supernovae?

Daniel Kasen, Peter Nugent, R. C. Thomas +1

In the favored progenitor scenario, Type Ia supernovae arise from a white dwarf accreting material from a non-degenerate companion star. Soon after the white dwarf explodes, the ej…

Weak Lensing from Space I: Instrumentation and Survey Strategy

Jason Rhodes, Alexandre Refregier, Richard Massey +1

A wide field space-based imaging telescope is necessary to fully exploit the technique of observing dark matter via weak gravitational lensing. This first paper in a three part ser…

Spectropolarimetry of SN 2001el in NGC 1448: Asphericity of a Normal Type Ia Supernova

Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade, Peter Hoeflich +6

High-quality spectropolarimetry (range 417-860 nm; spectral resolution 1.27 nm and 0.265 nm/pixel) of the SN Ia 2001el were obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope Melipal (+ FO…

Analysis of the Flux and Polarization Spectra of the Type Ia Supernova SN 2001el: Exploring the Geometry of the High-velocity Ejecta

Daniel Kasen, Peter Nugent, Lifan Wang +6

SN 2001el is the first normal Type Ia supernova to show a strong, intrinsic polarization signal. In addition, during the epochs prior to maximum light, the CaII IR triplet absorpti…
