Rates and delay times of type Ia supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey

P. Wiseman, M. Sullivan, M. Smith +87

We use a sample of 809 photometrically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) along with 40415 field galaxies to calculate the rate of SN…

Supernova Siblings: Assessing the Consistency of Properties of Type Ia Supernovae that Share the Same Parent Galaxies

D. Scolnic, M. Smith, A. Massiah +82

While many studies have shown a correlation between properties of the light curves of Type Ia SN (SNe Ia) and properties of their host galaxies, it remains unclear what is driving…

Supernova Host Galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey: I. Deep Coadds, Photometry, and Stellar Masses

P. Wiseman, M. Smith, M. Childress +75

The five-year Dark Energy Survey supernova programme (DES-SN) is one of the largest and deepest transient surveys to date in terms of volume and number of supernovae. Identifying a…

Milky Way Satellite Census. I. The Observational Selection Function for Milky Way Satellites in DES Y3 and Pan-STARRS DR1

A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol, S. Mau +55

We report the results of a systematic search for ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies using data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Together, DES and PS1…

Chemical Abundance Analysis of Tucana III, the Second -process Enhanced Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy

J. L. Marshall, T. Hansen, J. D. Simon +56

We present a chemical abundance analysis of four additional confirmed member stars of Tucana III, a Milky Way satellite galaxy candidate in the process of being tidally disrupted a…

Modelling the Tucana III stream - a close passage with the LMC

D. Erkal, T. S. Li, S. E. Koposov +67

We present results of the first dynamical stream fits to the recently discovered Tucana III stream. These fits assume a fixed Milky Way potential and give proper motion predictions…
