K-corrections and Extinction Corrections for Type Ia Supernovae
نویسندگان
چکیده
The measurement of the cosmological parameters from Type Ia supernovae hinges on our ability to compare nearby and distant supernovae accurately. Here we present an advance on a method for performing generalized K-corrections for Type Ia supernovae which allows us to compare these objects from the UV to near-IR over the redshift range 0 < z < 2. We discuss the errors currently associated with this method and how future data can improve upon it significantly. We also examine the effects of reddening on the K-corrections and the light curves of Type Ia supernovae. Finally, we provide a few examples of how these techniques affect our current understanding of a sample of both nearby and distant supernovae. Subject headings: supernovae: general; cosmology: observations

K CORRECTIONS FOR TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE AND A TEST FOR SPATIAL VARIATION OF THE HUBBLE CONSTANT The Supernova Cosmology Project: II
Cross-filter K corrections for a sample of “normal” Type Ia supernovae (SNe) have been calculated for a range of epochs. With appropriate filter choices, the combined statistical and systematic K correction dispersion of the full sample lies within 0.05 mag for redshifts z < 0.7. This narrow dispersion of the calculated K correction allows the Type Ia to be used as a cosmological probe. We use ...
متن کاملThe absolute infrared magnitudes of type Ia supernovae
The absolute luminosities and homogeneity of early-time infrared (IR) light curves of type Ia supernovae are examined. Eight supernovae are considered. These are selected to have accurately known epochs of maximum blue light as well as having reliable distance estimates and/or good light curve coverage. Two approaches to extinction correction are considered. Owing to the low extinction in the I...
متن کاملMarginal evidence for cosmic acceleration from Type Ia supernovae
The 'standard' model of cosmology is founded on the basis that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating at present - as was inferred originally from the Hubble diagram of Type Ia supernovae. There exists now a much bigger database of supernovae so we can perform rigorous statistical tests to check whether these 'standardisable candles' indeed indicate cosmic acceleration. Taking accou...
متن کاملK-corrections and spectral templates of Type Ia supernovae
With the advent of large dedicated Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) surveys, Kcorrections of SNe Ia and their uncertainties have become especially important in the determination of cosmological parameters. While K-corrections are largely driven by SN Ia broad-band colors, it is shown here that the diversity in spectral features of SNe Ia can also be important. For an individual observation, the statis...
متن کاملThe intrinsic colour dispersion in Type Ia supernovae
The properties of low-redshift Type Ia supernovae are investigated using published multi-band optical broadband data from the Calan/Tololo and CfA surveys. The average time evolution of B − V, V − R, R − I, B − I and V − I, the intrinsic dispersion and time correlations are studied. This information is required to deduce the extinction of such explosions from the measured colours. We find that ...
