Measuring Dark Energy Properties with Photometrically Classified Pan-STARRS Supernovae. II. Cosmological Parameters

D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, A. G. Riess +25

We use 1169 Pan-STARRS supernovae (SNe) and 195 low- () SNe Ia to measure cosmological parameters. Though most Pan-STARRS SNe lack spectroscopic classifications, in a p…

The Complete Light-curve Sample of Spectroscopically Confirmed Type Ia Supernovae from Pan-STARRS1 and Cosmological Constraints from The Combined Pantheon Sample

D. M. Scolnic, D. O. Jones, A. Rest +37

We present optical light curves, redshifts, and classifications for 365 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Surv…

An updated Type II supernova Hubble diagram

E. E. E. Gall, R. Kotak, B. Leibundgut +15

We present photometry and spectroscopy of nine Type II-P/L supernovae (SNe) with redshifts in the 0.045 < z < 0.335 range, with a view to re-examining their utility as distance ind…

Applying the expanding photosphere and standardized candle methods to Type II-Plateau supernovae at cosmologically significant redshifts: the distance to SN 2013eq

E. E. E. Gall, R. Kotak, B. Leibundgut +3

Based on optical imaging and spectroscopy of the Type II-Plateau SN 2013eq, we present a comparative study of commonly used distance determination methods based on Type II supernov…

A supernova distance to the anchor galaxy NGC 4258

J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, K. C. Chambers +8

The fortuitous occurrence of a type II-Plateau (IIP) supernova, SN 2014bc, in a galaxy for which distance estimates from a number of primary distance indicators are available provi…

The superluminous supernova PS1-11ap: bridging the gap between low and high redshift

M. McCrum, S. J. Smartt, R. Kotak +37

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic coverage of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) PS1-11ap, discovered with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey at z = 0.524. This intr…
