A metric space for type Ia supernova spectra

Michele Sasdelli, W. Hillebrandt, G. Aldering +43

We develop a new framework for use in exploring Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) spectra. Combining Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square analysis (PLS) we are able…

iPTF13beo: The Double-Peaked Light Curve of a Type Ibn Supernova Discovered Shortly after Explosion

Evgeny Gorbikov, Avishay Gal-Yam, Eran O. Ofek +13

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type Ibn (SN 2006jc-like) supernova iPTF13beo. Detected by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory ~3 hours…

Standardizing Type Ia Supernova Absolute Magnitudes Using Gaussian Process Data Regression

A. G. Kim, R. C. Thomas, G. Aldering +32

We present a novel class of models for Type Ia supernova time-evolving spectral energy distributions (SED) and absolute magnitudes: they are each modeled as stochastic functions de…

Spectrophotometric time series of SN 2011fe from the Nearby Supernova Factory

R. Pereira, R. C. Thomas, G. Aldering +36

We present 32 epochs of optical (3300-9700 Å) spectrophotometric observations of the nearby quintessential "normal" type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2011fe in the galaxy M101, extendin…

Atmospheric extinction properties above Mauna Kea from the Nearby Supernova Factory spectro-photometric data set

C. Buton, Y. Copin, G. Aldering +30

We present a new atmospheric extinction curve for Mauna Kea spanning 3200--9700 Å. It is the most comprehensive to date, being based on some 4285 standard star spectra obtained on…

Nearby Supernova Factory Observations of SN 2007if: First Total Mass Measurement of a Super-Chandrasekhar-Mass Progenitor

R. A. Scalzo, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +27

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2007if, an overluminous (M_V = -20.4), red (B-V = 0.16 at B-band maximum), slow-rising (t_rise = 24 days) type Ia supern…
