Journal ArticleDOI
Near-infrared observations of Type Ia supernovae: the best known standard candle for cosmology
R. L. Barone-Nugent,C. Lidman,J. S. B. Wyithe,Jeremy Mould,D. A. Howell,D. A. Howell,Isobel Hook,Isobel Hook,Mark Sullivan,Peter Nugent,Iair Arcavi,S. B. Cenko,Jeff Cooke,Avishay Gal-Yam,Eric Hsiao,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Kate Maguire,Eran O. Ofek,Dovi Poznanski,Dong Xu +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the Hubble diagram for 12 normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed in the near-infrared (NIR) J and H bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel-rich outflows produced by the accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs: light curves and spectra
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present spherically symmetric radiative transfer calculations of the transient powered by the radioactive heating of this ejecta and explore the sensitivity of their results to uncertainties in the ejecta kinematics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the bulk flow in the nearby universe and determined the velocity of the flow from SN data binned in redshift shells by including a coherent motion (dipole) in a cosmological fit.

TL;DR: The Dark Energy Survey (DES) as mentioned in this paper is a next generation optical survey aimed at understanding the accelerating expansion of the universe using four complementary methods: weak gravitational lensing, galaxy cluster counts, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae.
