      We present a large-scale effort of creating composite spectra of high-redshift SNe Ia and comparing them to low-redshift counterparts in an attempt to understand possible cosmic evolution of SNe Ia, which has major ...

(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2008-07-20)
      We report the discovery and orbital determination of 14 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey difference imaging data set. Two additional objects discovered in a similar search of the SDSS-II ...
    • General two-dimensional least-squares image subtraction 
      Quinn, J. L.; Clocchiatti, A.; Hamuy Wackenhut, Mario (2010)
      A very general two-dimensional solution to the image convolution problem is presented extending the least-squares approach of Bramich. Image convolution is of wide applicability in astronomical data reduction including, ...
    • Luminous Type II supernovae for their low expansion velocities 
      Rodríguez, Ó.; Pignata, G.; Anderson, J. P.; Moriya, T. J.; Clocchiatti, A.; Förster Burón, Francisco; Prieto, J.L.; Phillips, M. M.; Burns, C. R.; Contreras, C.; Folatelli, G.; Gutiérrez, C. P.; Hamuy Wackenhut, Mario; Morrell, N. I.; Stritzinger, M. D.; Suntzeff, N. B.; Benetti, S.; Cappellaro, E.; Elias Rosa, N.; Pastorello, A.; Turatto, M.; Maza Sancho, José María; Antezana, Roberto; Cartier, R.; González Muñoz, Luis; Haislip, J. B.; Kouprianov, V.; López, P.; Marchi Lasch, Sebastián; Reichart, D. (Oxford University Press, 2020)
      We present optical and near-infrared data of three Type II supernovae (SNe II), SN 2008bm, SN 2009aj, and SN 2009au. These SNe display the following common characteristics: signs of early interaction of the ejecta with ...

(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008-08-11)
      As part of the European Supernova Collaboration, we obtained extensive photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2002dj covering epochs from 11 d before to nearly two years after maximum. Detailed ...
    • The peculiar type II supernova 1997D: A case for a very low Ni-56 mass 
      Turatto, M.; Mazzali, Paolo; Young, T. R.; Nomoto, K.; Iwamoto, K.; Benetti, S.; Cappellaro, E.; Danziger, I. J.; Mello, D. F. de; Phillips, M. M.; Suntzeff, Nicholas B.; Clocchiatti, A.; Piemonte, A.; Leibundgut, B.; Covarrubias, R.; Maza Sancho, José; Sollerman, J. (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 1998-05-10)
      SN 1997D in NGC 1536 is possibly the least luminous and energetic Type II supernova discovered to date. The entire light curve is subluminous, never reaching M-v = -14.65. The radioactive tail follows the Co-56 decay slope. ...
