Improved cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of the SDSS-II and SNLS supernova samples

M. Betoule, R. Kessler, J. Guy +60

We present cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations obtained by the SDSS-II and SNLS collaborations. The data set includes several l…

Quantitative comparison between Type Ia supernova spectra at low and high redshifts: A case study

G. Garavini, G. Folatelli, S. Nobili +44

We develop a method to measure the strength of the absorption features in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) spectra and use it to make a quantitative comparison between the spectra of Type…

Type Ia SNe along redshift: the R(Si II) ratio and the expansion velocities in intermediate z supernovae

G. Altavilla, P. Ruiz-Lapuente, A. Balastegui +17

We study intermediate--z SNe Ia using the empirical physical diagrams which enable to learn about those SNe explosions. This information can be very useful to reduce systematic unc…

The Supernova Legacy Survey: Measurement of Omega_M, Omega_Lambda and w from the First Year Data Set

P. Astier, J. Guy, N. Regnault +39

We present distance measurements to 71 high redshift type Ia supernovae discovered during the first year of the 5-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). These events were detected an…

Spectra of High-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae and a Comparison with their Low-Redshift Counterparts

I. M. Hook, D. A. Howell, G. Aldering +32

We present spectra for 14 high-redshift (0.17 < z < 0.83) supernovae, which were discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project as part of a campaign to measure cosmological paramet…

Spectroscopy of twelve Type Ia supernovae at intermediate redshift

C. Balland, M. Mouchet, R. Pain +15

We present spectra of twelve Type Ia supernovae obtained in 1999 at the William Herschel Telescope and the Nordic Optical Telescope during a search for Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) a…
