Photometric classification of supernovae detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility using noise augmentation
A. Townsend, J. Nordin, M. Kowalski +27
Modern time-domain surveys, such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), detect far more extragalactic transients than can be spectroscopically classified. Photometric classificati…
An Agnostic Approach to Building Empirical Type Ia Supernova Light Curves: Evidence for Intrinsic Chromatic Flux Variation Using Nearby Supernova Factory Data
Jared Hand, A. G. Kim, G. Aldering +35
We present a new empirical Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) model with three chromatic flux variation templates: one phase dependent and two phase independent. No underlying dust extincti…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Environmental dependencies of stretch and luminosity of a volume limited sample of 1,000 Type Ia Supernovae
M. Ginolin, M. Rigault, M. Smith +43
To get distances, Type Ia Supernovae magnitudes are corrected for their correlation with lightcurve width and colour. Here we investigate how this standardisation is affected by th…
Candidate strongly lensed type Ia supernovae in the Zwicky Transient Facility archive
A. Townsend, J. Nordin, A. Sagués Carracedo +61
Gravitationally lensed type Ia supernovae (glSNe Ia) are unique astronomical tools that can be used to study cosmological parameters, distributions of dark matter, the astrophysics…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Study of Type Ia Supernova lightcurve fits
M. Rigault, M. Smith, N. Regnault +34
Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology relies on the estimation of lightcurve parameters to derive precision distances that leads to the estimation of cosmological parameters. The emp…
