Carnegie Supernova Project-II: The Near-infrared Spectroscopy Program

E. Y. Hsiao, M. M. Phillips, G. H. Marion +42

Shifting the focus of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology to the near-infrared (NIR) is a promising way to significantly reduce the systematic errors, as the strategy minimizes our…
