      Comparing the ejecta velocities at maximum brightness and narrow circumstellar/interstellar Na D absorption line profiles of a sample of 23 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we determine that the properties of SN Ia progenitor ...
    • A new distance to the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/39) based on the type Ia supernova 2007sr 
      Schwaizer, Francois; Burns, Christopher R.; Madore, Barry F.; Mager, VIiolet A.; Phillips, M.
