Initial Hubble Diagram Results from the Nearby Supernova Factory
S. Bailey, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +22
The use of Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators led to the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe a decade ago. Now that large second generation surveys have…
The Palomar-Quest Digital Synoptic Sky Survey
S. G. Djorgovski, C. Baltay, A. A. Mahabal +10
We describe briefly the Palomar-Quest (PQ) digital synoptic sky survey, including its parameters, data processing, status, and plans. Exploration of the time domain is now the cent…
The QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline
Peter Andrews, Charles Baltay, Anne Bauer +5
A program that we call the QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline has been written to process the large volumes of data produced by the QUEST camera on the Samuel Oschin Schmidt T…
The QUEST Large Area CCD Camera
Charlie Baltay, David Rabinowitz, Peter Andrews +17
We have designed, constructed and put into operation a very large area CCD camera that covers the field of view of the 1.2 m Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at the Palomar Observat…
Nearby Supernova Factory Observations of SN 2006D: On Sporadic Carbon Signatures in Early Type Ia Supernova Spectra
The Nearby Supernova Factory, :, R. C. Thomas +27
We present four spectra of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2006D extending from -7 to +13 days with respect to B-band maximum. The spectra include the strongest signature of unburned…
Nearby Supernova Factory Observations of SN 2005gj: Another Type Ia Supernova in a Massive Circumstellar Envelope
The Nearby Supernova Factory Collaboration, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +24
We report Nearby Supernova Factory observations of SN 2005gj, the second confirmed case of a "hybrid" Type Ia/IIn supernova. Our early-phase photometry of SN 2005gj shows that the…
