THE EFFECT OF TYPE Ibc CONTAMINATION IN COSMOLOGICAL SUPERNOVA SAMPLES
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore the effect of contamination of intermediate redshift Type Ia supernova samples by Type Ibc supernovae. Simulating observed samples of Ia and mixed Ibc/Ia populations at a range of redshifts for an underlying cosmological concordance model (Ωm = 0.27, ΩΛ = 0.73), we find that even small contamination levels, 2− 5% may bias the derived ΩΛ and Ωm towards larger values. We thus emphasize the need for clean samples of Type Ia SNe for accurate measurements of the cosmological parameters. We also simulate a SN sample similar to the fiducial SNAP detected distribution (Kim et al. 2004), but include Ibc contamination. For this distribution we illustrate the effect of Ibc contamination on the distance modulus vs. redshift diagram for low and high precision measurements.

baryonic matter distribution in the large-scale structures is one of the main questions in cosmology. This distribution can provide valuable information regarding the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. On the other hand, the missing baryon problem is still under debate. One of the most important cosmological structures for studying the rate and the distribution of the baryons is gal...
متن کاملThe Radio Properties of Type Ibc Supernovae
Over the past few years, long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs), including the subclass of Xray flashes (XRFs), have been revealed to be a rare variety of Type Ibc supernova (SN Ibc). While all these events result from the death of massive stars, the electromagnetic luminosities of GRBs and XRFs exceed those of ordinary Type Ibc SNe by many orders of magnitude. The observed diversity of stellar deat...
متن کاملConstraints on Off-axis Grb Jets in Type Ibc Supernovae from Late-time Radio Observations
It has been suggested that the peculiar properties of the luminous Type Ic supernova SN 1998bw and its lowenergy gamma-ray burst GRB 980425 may be understood if they originated in a standard gamma-ray burst explosion viewed far from the axis of the relativistic jet. In this scenario, strong radio emission is predicted from the jet on a timescale 1 to 10 years after the explosion as it decelerat...

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...
