چکیده
We present 29 optical spectra of the normal Type Ia SN 1998aq, ranging from 9 days before to 241 days after the time of maximum brightness. This spectrocopic data set, together with photometric data presented elsewhere, makes SN 1998aq one of the best observed Type Ia supernovae at optical wavelengths. We use the parameterized supernova synthetic–spectrum code Synow to study line identifications in the early photospheric–phase spectra. The results include evidence for lines of singly ionized carbon, at ejection velocities as low as 11,000 km s. Implications for SN Ia explosion models are discussed. Subject headings: supernovae: general — supernovae: individual (SN 1998aq)

We present preliminary results of the observational campaign on SN 2002er carried out by the European Supernova Collaboration (ESC). For this supernova the optical coverage from epochs −11 days to +50 days is excellent, both in imaging and spectroscopy. The extinction deduced from the photometry is E(B − V) = 0.35, while ∆m15 = 1.31. In general SN 2002er behaves like a " normal " type Ia supern...

We study the effect of environment on the properties of type Ia supernovae by analyzing the integrated spectra of 57 local type Ia supernova host galaxies. We deduce from the spectra the metallicity, current star formation rate, and star formation history of the host and compare these to the supernova decline rates. Additionally, we compare the host properties to the difference between the deri...

We present a new way of modeling turbulent thermonuclear deflagration fronts in Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs, consisting of carbon and oxygen, undergoing a type Ia supernova explosion. Our approach is a front capturing/tracking hybrid scheme, based on a level set method, which treats the front as a mathematical discontinuity and allows for full coupling between the front geometry and the flo...

As the first step in a comprehensive, comparative, direct analysis of the spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we use the parameterized supernova synthetic–spectrum code, Synow, to interpret 26 spectra of the well–observed SN 1994D. Our results are consistent with the traditional view that the composition structure (element abundance fractions versus ejection velocity) is radially stratified...

Sunyaev Zel’dovich cluster surveys can be used to constrain cosmological parameters. Extracting clusters from the primary anisotropies and the unresolved background from very faint clusters is simple when the telescope beam size is small (∼ 1′), but could be difficult if the beam is larger (∼ 8′). By reference to examples, we show that this is possible by carefully designing the depth of the su...
