Euclid: Superluminous supernovae in the Deep Survey

C. Inserra, R. C. Nichol, D. Scovacricchi +31

In the last decade, astronomers have found a new type of supernova called `superluminous supernovae' (SLSNe) due to their high peak luminosity and long light-curves. These hydrogen…

Measuring weak lensing correlations of Type Ia Supernovae

D. Scovacricchi, R. C. Nichol, E. Macaulay +1

We study the feasibility of detecting weak lensing spatial correlations between Supernova (SN) Type Ia magnitudes with present (Dark Energy Survey, DES) and future (Large Synoptic…

The effects of velocities and lensing on moments of the Hubble diagram

Edward Macaulay, Tamara M. Davis, Dario Scovacricchi +3

We consider the dispersion on the supernova distance-redshift relation due to peculiar velocities and gravitational lensing, and the sensitivity of these effects to the amplitude o…

Cosmology with Superluminous Supernovae

Dario Scovacricchi, Robert C. Nichol, David Bacon +2

We predict cosmological constraints for forthcoming surveys using Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe) as standardisable candles. Due to their high peak luminosity, these events can be…

Constraints on Dark Energy state equation with varying pivoting redshift

Dario Scovacricchi, Silvio A. Bonometto, Marino Mezzetti +1

We assume the DE state equations w(a) = w_0+w_a(a_p-a), and study the dependence of the constraints on w_0 and w_a coefficients on the pivoting redshift 1+z_p=1/a_p. Coefficients a…
