The Standard Candle Method for Type II Supernovae and the Hubble Constant
نویسنده
چکیده
The " standard candle method " for Type II plateau supernovae produces a Hubble diagram with a dispersion of 0.3 mag, which implies that this technique can produce distances with a precision of 15%. Using four nearby supernovae with Cepheid distances I find H 0 (V)=75±7, and H 0 (I)=65±12.

The Latest Version of the Standardized Candle Method for Type II Supernovae
I use the largest available sample of Type II plateau supernovae to examine the previously reported luminosity-velocity relation. This study confirms such relation which permits one to standardize the luminosities of these objects from a spectroscopic measurement of their envelope velocities, and use them as extragalactic distance indicators. The “standard candle method” (SCM) yields a Hubble d...
متن کاملGravitational lens time delays for distant supernovae: break the degeneracy between radial mass profiles and the Hubble constant
An attempt to measure the Hubble constant with gravitational lens time delays is often limited by the strong degeneracy between radial mass profiles of lens galaxies and the Hubble constant. We show that strong gravitational lensing of type Ia supernovae breaks this degeneracy; the standard candle nature of type Ia supernova luminosity function allows one to measure the magnification factor dir...
متن کاملType Ia supernovae: their origin and possible applications in cosmology.
Spectroscopic and photometric evidence indicates that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the thermonuclear explosions of accreting white dwarfs. However, the progenitor binary systems and hydrodynamical models for SNe Ia are still controversial. The relatively uniform light curves and spectral evolution of SNe Ia have led to their use as a standard candle for determining cosmological parameters, s...
متن کاملA Type Ii Supernova Hubble Diagram from the Csp-i, Sdss-ii and Snls Surveys.*
The coming era of large photometric wide-field surveys will increase the detection rate of supernovae by orders of magnitude. Such numbers will restrict spectroscopic follow-up in the vast majority of cases, and hence new methods based solely on photometric data must be developed. Here, we construct a complete Hubble diagram of Type II supernovae combining data from three different samples: the...
متن کاملCorrections for Gravitational Lensing of Supernovae: Better than Average?
We investigate the possibility of correcting for the magnification due to gravitational lensing of standard candle sources, such as Type Ia supernovae. Our method uses the observed properties of the foreground galaxies along the linesof-sight to each source and the accuracy of the lensing correction depends on the quality and depth of these observations as well as the uncertainties in translati...
