ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: early excess in Type Ia supernova light curves
Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Kate Maguire +17
There is broad consensus that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the thermonuclear explosions of C/O white dwarfs (WDs) in binary systems, but their progenitors and explosion mechanis…
An analysis of the Type Ia SN 2024gy and a comparison of different host extinction estimation techniques
Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Cillian O'Donnell +38
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are well-known standardisable candles, and are one of the main ways to measure the distance to their host galaxies. However, extinction due to interstel…
Illuminating the Local Universe: Large-Scale Structure from ZTF Type Ia Supernovae
Antoine Gilles Lordet, Ariel Goobar, Jens Jasche +12
Within the volume-limited subsample at of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) DR2 sample, we confirm a statistically significant excess of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at $…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae. II. A systematic search for pre-explosion eruptions with VLT/X-shooter
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +22
We present X-shooter observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z=0.13-0.95, aimed at searching for shells of cir…
Photometric classification of supernovae detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility using noise augmentation
A. Townsend, J. Nordin, M. Kowalski +27
Modern time-domain surveys, such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), detect far more extragalactic transients than can be spectroscopically classified. Photometric classificati…
Study of the anisotropy of cosmic expansion on ZTF type Iasupernovae simulations
C. Barjou-Delayre, P. Rosnet, C. Ravoux +29
The cosmological principle assumes the isotropy of the Universe at large scales. It is a foundational assumption in the CDM model, which is the current standard model of cosmol…
