Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Supernovae from the ESSENCE Project: The First Four Years

R. J. Foley, T. Matheson, S. Blondin +23

We present the results of spectroscopic observations from the ESSENCE high-redshift supernova (SN) survey during its first four years of operation. This sample includes spectra of…

GALEX Spectroscopy of SN 2005ay suggests a UV spectral uniformity among type II-P supernovae

A. Gal-Yam, F. Bufano, T. Barlow +24

We present the first results from our GALEX program designed to obtain ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy of nearby core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Our first target, SN 2005ay in the ne…

Exploring the Outer Solar System with the ESSENCE Supernova Survey

A. C. Becker, K. Arraki, N. A. Kaib +36

We report the discovery and orbit determination of 14 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey difference imaging dataset. Two additional objects discovered…

Scattered-Light Echoes from the Historical Galactic Supernovae Cassiopeia A and Tycho (SN 1572)

A. Rest, D. L. Welch, N. B. Suntzeff +16

We report the discovery of an extensive system of scattered light echo arclets associated with the recent supernovae in the local neighbourhood of the Milky Way: Tycho (SN 1572) an…

Time Dilation in Type Ia Supernova Spectra at High Redshift

S. Blondin, T. M. Davis, K. Krisciunas +29

We present multiepoch spectra of 13 high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) drawn from the literature, the ESSENCE and SNLS projects, and our own separate dedicated program on th…

A Direct Measurement of the Dust Extinction Curve in an Intermediate-Redshift Galaxy

Kevin Heng, Davide Lazzati, Rosalba Perna +5

We present a proof-of-concept study that dust extinction curves can be extracted from the infrared (IR), optical, ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray afterglow observations of GRBs without…
