Type IIP Supernovae as Cosmological Probes: A Spectral-fitting Expanding Atmosphere Model Distance to SN 1999em
TL;DR: The spectral-fitting expanding atmosphere method (SEAM) as discussed by the authors was proposed to obtain distances to Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP) and present a distance to SN 1999em for which a Cepheid distance exists.
Journal ArticleDOI
