TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship between Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) Hubble residuals and the properties of their host galaxies using a sample of 115 SNe Ia from the Nearby Supernova Factory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hubble Space Telescope spectra of the type Ia supernova SN 2011fe: a tail of low-density, high-velocity material with Z < Z⊙
Paolo A. Mazzali,Mark Sullivan,Stephan Hachinger,Stephan Hachinger,Richard S. Ellis,Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,D. A. Howell,D. A. Howell,Avishay Gal-Yam,Kate Maguire,Jeff Cooke,R. C. Thomas,K. Nomoto,Emma S. Walker +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to constrain the density structure and the abundance stratification in the SN ejecta, and derived Fe abundance in the outermost layer is consistent with the metallicity at the SN explosion site in M101.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery, Progenitor & Early Evolution of a Stripped Envelope Supernova iPTF13bvn
Yi Cao,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Iair Arcavi,Assaf Horesh,Paul Hancock,Stefano Valenti,S. Bradley Cenko,S. R. Kulkarni,Avishay Gal-Yam,Evgeny Gorbikov,Eran O. Ofek,David J. Sand,O. Yaron,Melissa L.

Carpenter,Nathalie Degenaar,Christopher R. Gelino +26 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a single, blue progenitor candidate in deep pre-explosion imaging within a 2σigma error circle of 80 mas (8.7 pc).
Journal ArticleDOI

James D. Neill,Mark Sullivan,Avishay Gal-Yam,Robert M. Quimby,Eran O. Ofek,Ted K. Wyder,D. Andrew Howell,Peter Nugent,Mark Seibert,D. Christopher Martin,Roderik Overzier,Tom A. Barlow,Karl Foster,Peter G. Friedman,Patrick Morrissey,Susan G. Neff,David Schiminovich,Luciana Bianchi,Jose Donas,Timothy M. Heckman,Young-Wook Lee,Barry F. Madore,Bruno Milliard,R. Michael Rich,Alexander S. Szalay +24 more
TL;DR: In this paper, GALEX ultraviolet (UV) and optical integrated photometry of the hosts of 17 luminous supernovae (LSNe), by appearing in low-SFR hosts, are potential tests for theories of the initial mass function that limit the maximum mass of a star based on the SFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Spectra of Hydrodynamic Models of Type Ia Supernovae
Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,E. Baron,David Branch,Adam Fisher,Peter H. Hauschildt,Peter H. Hauschildt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented detailed NLTE synthetic spectra of hydrodynamic SNe Ia models and calculated the storage of energy that arises from the time dependent deposition of radioactive decay energy in a reasonable manner, that spans the expected range.
