Late Light Curves of Normal Type Ia Supernovae
We present late-epoch optical photometry (BVRI) of seven normal/superluminous Type Ia supernovae: SN 2000E, SN 2000ce, SN 2000cx, SN 2001C, SN 2001V, SN 2001bg, SN 2001dp. The photometry of these objects was obtained using a template subtraction method to eliminate galaxy light contamination during aperture photometry. We show the optical light curves of these supernovae out to epochs of up to ...
متن کاملPhotometric Identification of Young Stripped-Core Supernovae
We present a method designed to identify the spectral type of young (less than ∼ 30 days after explosion) and nearby (z < ∼ 0.05) supernovae (SNe) using their broad-band colors. In particular, we show that stripped-core SNe (i.e., hydrogen deficient core-collapse events, spectroscopically defined as SNe Ib and SNe Ic, including broad-lined SN 1998bw-like events) can be clearly distinguished fro...
متن کاملNot Color Blind: Using Multiband Photometry to Classify Supernovae
Large numbers of supernovae (SNe) have been discovered in recent years, and many more will be found in the near future. Once discovered, further study of a SN and its possible use as an astronomical tool (e.g., as a distance estimator) require knowledge of the SN type. Current classification methods rely almost solely on the analysis of SN spectra to determine their type. However, spectroscopy ...
متن کاملOptical and Infrared Photometry of the Type Ia Supernovae 1999da, 1999dk, 1999gp, 2000bk, and 2000ce
We present BVRI photometry of the Type Ia supernovae 1999da, 1999dk, 1999gp, 2000bk, and 2000ce, plus infrared photometry of three of these. These objects exhibit the full range of decline rates of Type Ia supernovae. Combined optical and infrared data show that families of V − infrared color curves can be used to derive the host extinction (AV ) of these objects. Existing data do not yet allow...
متن کاملBayesian Single-Epoch Photometric Classification of Supernovae
Ongoing supernova (SN) surveys find hundreds of candidates, that require confirmation for their use as standard candles, to measure the cosmic supernova and star formation rates, to constrain progenitor models, and to track the contribution of supernovae (SNe) to metal enrichment. Traditional classification based on followup spectroscopy of all candidates is virtually impossible for these large...
