An integral field spectrograph for SNAP supernova studies

TL;DR: In this article, a well-adapted spectrograph concept has been developed for the SNAP (SuperNova/Acceleration Probe) experiment to ensure proper identification of Type Ia supernovae and to standardize the magnitude of each candidate by determining explosion parameters.

First SN Discoveries from the Dark Energy Survey

Journal ArticleDOI

Observing Strategy for the Legacy Surveys

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the tiling and dynamic observing strategies jointly result in a more uniform-depth survey that has higher efficiency for a given total observing time compared with the traditional approach of using fixed exposure times.
Journal ArticleDOI

Could There Be A Hole In Type Ia Supernovae

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multi-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations to explore the observable consequences of an ejecta-hole asymmetry in Type Ia supernovae, and found that the supernova looks normal from almost all viewing angles except when one looks almost directly down the hole.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Parallel Variable Selection for Effective Performance Prediction

TL;DR: This work creates a combination of variable selection and performance prediction methods that is as effective as the exhaustive search approach when the exhaustivesearch could be completed in a reasonable amount of time.
