      We examine the absolute luminosities of 29 SNe Ia in the Calan/Tololo survey. We confirm a relation between the peak luminosity of the SNe and the decline rate as measured by the light curve, as suggested by Phillips [ApJ, ...

      Type Ia supernovae forman observationally uniform class of stellar explosions, in that more luminous objects have smaller declinerates 1. This one-parameter behaviour allows type Ia supernovae to be calibrated as ...

      Stars that explode as supernovae come in two main classes. A type Ia supernova is recognized by the absence of hydrogen and the presence of elements such as silicon and sulphur in its spectrum; this class of supernova is ...

      The velocity of the inner ejecta of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) is studied by means of an analysis of their nebular spectra. Stripped-envelope CC-SNe are the result of the explosion of bare cores ...

      We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in six nearby galaxies (z less than or similar to 0.016). All galaxies were observed with MUSE, the high spatial resolution ...

    • Hamuy Wackenhut, Mario (Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2011-12-15)
      Stellar explosions known as type Ia supernovae are a significant tool in cosmology, but their exact nature is unknown. Two studies bring an understanding of these cosmic blasts a step closer.
