A Simulation Based Inference Approach to Modelling of Type Ia Supernova Populations
B. Popovic, M. Grayling, M. O'Callaghan +12
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are prominent cosmological probes, utilising a standardisation process to reduce their observed scatter to mag. A growing number of models se…
BayeSN Dovekie: Joint Photometric Cross-calibration and SED Modelling of Type Ia Supernovae
M. Grayling, B. Popovic, M. Ginolin +2
We present a new framework for BayeSN, the hierarchical Bayesian SED model for type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), incorporating cross-calibration of samples observed across heterogeneous…
Hawai`i Supernova Flows: Bulk Flow Measurements using SNe Ia in the Optical and NIR
Aaron Do, Kaisey S. Mandel, Benjamin J. Shappee +9
The present day peculiar velocity-field was sourced by primordial density fluctuations and sculpted over the lifespan of the Universe. Cosmological models such as CDM make pred…
FlowSN: Neural Simulation-Based Inference under Realistic Selection Effects applied to Supernova Cosmology
Benjamin M. Boyd, Kaisey S. Mandel, Matthew Grayling +10
We present FlowSN, a statistical framework using simulation-based inference (SBI) with normalising flows to account for selection effects in observational astronomy. Failure to acc…
Testing Lens Models of PLCK G165.7+67.0 Using Lensed SN H0pe
Aadya Agrawal, J. D. R. Pierel, Gautham Narayan +9
Supernova H0pe is a multiply-imaged Type Ia supernova (SN~Ia) and the second lensed SN to yield a measurement of the Hubble constant by the time-delay cosmography method, finding $…
On the origin of the environmental step: A BayeSN view of the ZTF SN Ia DR2
Madeleine Ginolin, Matthew Grayling, Kaisey S. Mandel +5
Astrophysical variabilities of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), such as their link with their birth environment, are now one of the leading sources of systematic uncertainties on the m…
