Constraining Cosmic Evolution of Type Ia Supernovae
Ryan J. Foley, A. V. Filippenko, C. Aguilera +27
We present the first large-scale effort of creating composite spectra of high-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and comparing them to low-redshift counterparts. Through the ESSE…
The ESSENCE Supernova Survey: Survey Optimization, Observations, and Supernova Photometry
G. Miknaitis, G. Pignata, A. Rest +33
We describe the implementation and optimization of the ESSENCE supernova survey, which we have undertaken to measure the equation of state parameter of the dark energy. We present…
Scrutinizing Exotic Cosmological Models Using ESSENCE Supernova Data Combined with Other Cosmological Probes
T. M. Davis, E. Mortsell, J. Sollerman +24
The first cosmological results from the ESSENCE supernova survey (Wood-Vasey et al. 2007) are extended to a wider range of cosmological models including dynamical dark energy and n…
Optical Spectral Monitoring of XTE J1118+480 in Outburst: Evidence for a Precessing Accretion Disk?
M. A. P. Torres, P. J. Callanan, M. R. Garcia +7
We present spectroscopic observations of the X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 acquired during different epochs following the 2000 March outburst. We find that the emission line profil…
