Optical and near-infrared photometry of 94 type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project
J. P. Anderson, C. Contreras, M. D. Stritzinger +43
Type II supernovae (SNeII) mark the endpoint in the lives of hydrogen-rich massive stars. Their large explosion energies and luminosities allow us to measure distances, metalliciti…
Detection of the Gravitational Lens Magnifying a Type Ia Supernova
Robert M. Quimby, Masamune Oguri, Anupreeta More +8
Objects of known brightness, like Type Ia supernovae (SNIa), can be used to measure distances. If a massive object warps spacetime to form multiple images of a background SNIa, a d…
Comparing Hydrodynamic Models with Observations of Type II Plateau Supernovae
Melina C. Bersten
In this Thesis I developed a one-dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamic code with flux-limited radiation diffusion including gamma-ray transfer in gray approximation for any given dis…
Extraordinary Magnification of the Ordinary Type Ia Supernova PS1-10afx
Robert M. Quimby, Marcus C. Werner, Masamune Oguri +8
Recently, Chornock and co-workers announced the Pan-STARRS discovery of a transient source reaching an apparent peak luminosity of ~4x10^44 erg s^-1. We show that the spectra of th…
The Standardized Candle Method for Type II Plateau Supernovae
Felipe Olivares E., Mario Hamuy, Giuliano Pignata +8
In this paper we study the "standardized candle method" using a sample of 37 nearby (z<0.06) Type II plateau supernovae having BVRI photometry and optical spectroscopy. An analytic…
