THE FUNDAMENTAL METALLICITY RELATION REDUCES TYPE Ia SN HUBBLE RESIDUALS MORE THAN HOST MASS ALONE

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) of Mannucci et al. was applied to the large number of hosts from the SDSS-II sample of Gupta et al and found that the scatter in the Hubble residuals is significantly reduced when compared with using only stellar mass as a fit parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digging deeper into the Southern skies: a compact Milky Way companion discovered in first-year Dark Energy Survey data

E. Luque, +70 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first-year Dark Energy Survey (DES) data down to previously unprobed photometric depths was used to search for stellar systems in the Galactic halo, and the most conspicuous density peaks in these maps were identified automatically and ranked according to their significance and recurrence for different input models.
Journal ArticleDOI

SUPPLEMENT: "LOCALIZATION and BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP of the GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE TRANSIENT GW150914" (2016, ApJL, 826, L13)

B. P. Abbott, +1622 more
TL;DR: Abbott et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the four probability sky maps produced for the gravitational-wave transient GW150914, and provided additional details of the EM follow-up observations that were performed in the different bands.
Journal ArticleDOI

First-year spectroscopy for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II supernova survey

Chen Zheng, +88 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented spectroscopy of supernovae (SNe) discovered in the first season of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II SN Survey, with a particular focus on SNe Ia.
