Confirmation of a Star Formation Bias in Type Ia Supernova Distances and its Effect on Measurement of the Hubble Constant
M. Rigault, G. Aldering, M. Kowalski +35
Previously we used the Nearby Supernova Factory sample to show that SNe~Ia having locally star-forming environments are dimmer than SNe~Ia having locally passive environments.Here…
Type Ia Supernova Distance Modulus Bias and Dispersion From K-correction Errors: A Direct Measurement Using Lightcurve Fits to Observed Spectral Time Series
C. Saunders, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34
We estimate systematic errors due to K-corrections in standard photometric analyses of high redshift Type Ia supernovae. Errors due to K-correction occur when the spectral template…
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…
The Rising Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae
R. E. Firth, M. Sullivan, A. Gal-Yam +11
We present an analysis of the early, rising light curves of 18 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and the La Silla-QUEST variability surv…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
Super-luminous supernovae from PESSTO
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +29
We present optical spectra and light curves for three hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae followed by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO). Time se…
