TL;DR: In this article, a set of calibrated photometric measurements of the earliest detections of nearby Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) was presented, which demonstrated the strong correlation between the rise time (i.e., the time between explosion and maximum), the post-rise light-curve shape, and the peak luminosity.

TL;DR: HATSouth as discussed by the authors is the world's first network of automated and homogeneous telescopes that is capable of year-round 24-hour monitoring of positions over an entire hemisphere of the sky.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 24 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) was assembled and the authors measured the light-curve shape through rise and decline time-scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
The atmospheres of type II supernovae and the expanding photosphere method
TL;DR: The Expanding Photosphere Method (EPM) as discussed by the authors determines distances to Type II supernova (SNe II) by comparing the photospheric angular size with the expansion velocity measured from spectral lines.
