Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Toward a cosmological hubble diagram for type ii-p supernovae" ?
However, current models for the cosmic star formation history predict an abundant source of SNe II at these epochs, and future facilities, such as the proposed Joint Dark EnergyMission telescope, in concert with James Webb Space Telescope and/or future 30 m telescopes such as the ThirtyMeter Telescope, could potentially use SNe II-P to determine distances at these very high redshifts.
Q3. What are the important parameters to measure for the latter bias?
For the latter bias the important parameters to measure are the completeness limit of the search and the intrinsic dispersion on the corrected SNe II-P magnitudes (see Perlmutter et al. 1999 and references therein).
Q4. What is the mystery of dark energy?
The mystery of dark energy lies at the crossroads of astronomy and fundamental physics: the former is tasked with measuring its properties and the latter with explaining its origin.
Q5. What can be the effect of the SNe II-P on the analysis?
The two effects this can have on their analysis are a bias on the parameters the authors have determined in equation (1) and a bias on the discovery of lower luminosity events given the magnitude-limited search.
Q6. How did the authors determine the velocities of the H dominated spectra?
In order to maximize the information content in either the series of weak Fe ii lines or in the H -dominated spectra, the authors then examined a cross-correlation analysis across the wavelength range 4500–5500 8.
Q7. What is the way to measure the SNe II-P?
Extending these measurements to z ¼ 0:5 for the SNLS supernovae would require J-band imaging with HST Near-Infrared Camera and MultiObject Spectrometer for average luminosity SNe II-P.
Q8. What is the trend of the spectra with higher effective temperatures?
The model spectra with higher effective temperatures were in general from earlier epochs with higher velocities, while the cooler ones were later with lower velocities.
Q9. What are the drawbacks of the HP02 method?
Although economical compared to the SEAM/EPM methods in terms of input data, the HP02 method is still poorly suited as a basis for verifying the cosmic acceleration due to the difficult demands on spectroscopy and the photometric measurements necessary for an extinction correction at high redshift.
Q10. What are the main disadvantages of SNe II-P?
The two main disadvantages are that they are on average 1.2 mag fainter in the optical than SNe Ia and that all distance measurements currently based on SNe II-P require a reasonable quality spectrum of the event.
Q11. What are the advantages of SNe II-P?
From an astrophysical standpoint, SNe II-P hold three advantages over SNe Ia as cosmological probes: (1) their progenitor stars are well understood (Heger et al.
Q12. What is the effect of the loss of suitable lenses?
Weak lensing, for example, will suffer from the loss of suitable lenses, and while evidence at z < 1 suggests that some fraction of SNe
Q13. How many km s 1 is the dispersion for the SNe II-P?
The resulting dispersion for individual measurements increased by only 15 km s 1,clearly showing that the cross-correlation method is sufficiently accurate for their purpose.
Q14. What is the result of the supergiant exploding into a near vacuum?
From analyses of their optical light curves and spectra (e.g., Chugai 1994), they evidently suffer little subsequent interaction with the surrounding medium—they are the result of the putative red supergiant exploding into a near vacuum.
