Spectra of High-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae and a Comparison with their Low-Redshift Counterparts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented spectra for 14 high-redshift (0.17 < z < 0.83) supernovae, which were discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project as part of a campaign to measure cosmological parameters, and found that the dates of the spectra relative to maximum light determined from this fitting process are consistent with the dates determined from the photometric light curves, and moreover the spectral time-sequence for SNe Type Ia at low and high redshift is indistinguishable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observational Predictions for Sub-Chandrasekhar Mass Explosions: Further Evidence for Multiple Progenitor Systems for Type Ia Supernovae

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical parameter survey of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf (WD) explosions is presented, and the authors identify a relationship between Si II velocity and luminosity which identifies a sub-class of observed supernovae that are consistent with these models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraining the Progenitor Companion of the Nearby Type Ia SN 2011fe with a Kiloday Nebular Spectrum

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a "kiloday" optical nebular spectrum of the nearby Type Ia supernova (SN) 2011fe, obtained +981 days after explosion.

THE DETECTION OF A SN IIn IN OPTICAL FOLLOW-UP OBSERVATIONS OF ICECUBE NEUTRINO EVENTS

M. G. Aartsen, +342 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Type IIn supernova (SN IIn) PTF12csy was found 0.2 degrees 2 away from the neutrino alert direction, with an error radius of 0.0684, corresponding to a luminosity distance of about 300 Mpc.
