Testing LMC Microlensing Scenarios: The Discrimination Power of the SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey
Armin Rest,Christopher W. Stubbs,Christopher W. Stubbs,A. C. Becker,Gajus Miknaitis,A. Miceli,R. Covarrubias,Suzanne L. Hawley,Robert Connon Smith,N. B. Suntzeff,K. A. G. Olsen,J. L. Prieto,R.

TL;DR: In this article, the SuperMACHO survey was used to discriminate between two lensing populations: uniform foreground screen and self-lensing by LMC stars, and the expected number of observed microlensing events for various LMC models for each of their fields by adding artificial stars to the images.

TL;DR: In this article, multi-band optical photometry of 94 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the redshift range 0.0055-0.073 was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type Ia Supernovae Are Good Standard Candles in the Near Infrared: Evidence from PAIRITEL
W. Michael Wood-Vasey,Andrew S. Friedman,Joshua S. Bloom,Malcolm Hicken,Maryam Modjaz,Robert P. Kirshner,Dan L. Starr,Cullen H. Blake,Emilio E. Falco,Andrew Szentgyorgyi,Peter Challis,Stéphane Blondin,Kaisey S. Mandel,Armin Rest +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained 1087 NIR (JHKs) measurements of 21 SNe Ia using PAIRITEL, nearly doubling the number of well-sampled NIR SN Ia light curves.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the identification of 22 CVs, of which 19 are new discoveries and three are known systems (SW UMa, BH Lyn, and OU Vir).
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniformity of (V?Near-Infrared) Color Evolution of Type Ia Supernovae and Implications for Host Galaxy Extinction Determination
Kevin Krisciunas,N. C. Hastings,Karen Loomis,Russet McMillan,Armin Rest,Adam G. Riess,Christopher W. Stubbs +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic V-K colors of Type Ia SNe of typical luminosity (i.e., with multicolor light-curve shape (MLCS) parameter -0.4? + 0.2 mag) suggest a uniform color curve.
