Type Ia supernovae: spectroscopic surprises
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent observations have extended the range of diversity among spectra of Type Ia supernovae. I briefly discuss SN Ia explosion models in the spectroscopic context, the observed diversity, and some recent results obtained with the Synow code for one normal and two peculiar SNe Ia. Relating the observational manifestations of diversity to their physical causes is looking like an ever more challenging problem.

Spectroscopic Detection of Type Ia Supernovae in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We present the results of a novel new search of the first data-release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR1) for the spectra of supernovae. The use of large spectroscopic galaxy surveys offers the prospect of obtaining improved estimates of the local supernova rate, with the added benefit of a very different selection function to that of conventional photometric surveys. In this Letter w...
متن کاملar X iv : a st ro - p h / 00 09 21 9 v 1 1 3 Se p 20 00 On the Spectroscopic Diversity of Type Ia Supernovae
A comparison of the ratio of the depths of two absorption features in the spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) near the time of maximum brightness with the blueshift of the deep red Si II absorption feature 10 days after maximum shows that the spectroscopic diversity of SNe Ia is multi–dimensional. There is a substantial range of blueshifts at a given value of the depth ratio. We also find th...
متن کاملSpectroscopic observations of eight supernovae at intermediate redshift
Aims. We present spectra of six Type Ia and two Type II supernovae obtained in June 2002 at the William Herschel Telescope during a search for Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) at intermediate redshift. Methods. Supernova type identification and phase determination are performed using a fitting technique based on a χ2 minimization against a series of model templates. Results. The spectra range from z ...
متن کامل“spectroscopic Determination of the Low Redshift Type Ia Supernova Rate from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey”
Supernova rates are directly coupled to high mass stellar birth and evolution. As such, they are one of the few direct measures of the history of cosmic stellar evolution. In this paper we describe an probabilistic technique for identifying supernovae within spectroscopic samples of galaxies. We present a study of 52 type Ia supernovae ranging in age from -14 days to +40 days extracted from a p...
متن کاملSupernova Legacy Survey (snls): Real Time Operations and Photometric Analysis
Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) have provided the first evidence for an accelerating universe and for the existence of an unknown “dark energy” driving this expansion. The 5-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) will deliver ∼700 type Ia supernovae and as many type II supernovae with wellsampled light curves in 4 filters g′, r′, i′ and z′. The current status of the project will be presented, along wit...
