Improved Distances to Type Ia Supernovae with Multicolor Light Curve Shapes: MLCS2k2
We present an updated version of the Multicolor Light Curve Shape method to measure distances to type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), incorporating new procedures for Kcorrection and extinction corrections. We also develop a simple model to disentangle intrinsic color variations and reddening by dust, and expand the method to incorporate U-band light curves and to more easily accommodate prior constrain...
متن کاملLight curve studies of nearby Type Ia Supernovae with a Multi-band Stretch method
We create new U, B, V, R and I-band light curve templates of type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) and re-analyze 122 nearby (redshift < 0.11) SNe Ia using a new “Multiband Stretch method,” which is a revised Stretch method (cf. Perlmutter et al. 1997; Goldhaber et al. 2001) extended to five bands. We find (i) our I-band template can fit about 90% of SNe Ia I-band light curves, (ii) relationships between...
متن کاملThe Risetime of Nearby Type Ia Supernovae
We present calibrated photometric measurements of the earliest detections of nearby type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The set of ∼30 new, unfiltered CCD observations delineate the early rise behavior of SNe Ia > 18 to 10 days before maximum. Using simple empirical models, we demonstrate the strong correlation between the risetime (i.e., the time between explosion and maximum), the post-rise light-cu...
متن کاملImproved Distances to Type Ia Supernovae with Two Spectroscopic Subclasses
We study the observables of 158 relatively normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) by dividing them into two groups in terms of the expansion velocity inferred from the absorption minimum of the Si II λ6355 line in their spectra near B-band maximum brightness. One group (“Normal”) consists of normal SNe Ia populating a narrow strip in the Si II velocity distribution, with an average expansion veloci...
متن کاملLight Echoes in Type Ia Supernovae
Light echoes are a promising tool to probe the environment where SNe Ia explode and an independent source of information on the progenitor’s nature. After giving a brief introduction to the phenomenon we review the two known cases, i.e. SNe 1991T and 1998bu. We then present the results we obtained from the test case of SN 1998es in NGC 632. This object was classified as a 1991T-like event and w...
