    THE SDSS-II SUPERNOVA SURVEY: PARAMETERIZING THE TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA RATE AS A FUNCTION OF HOST GALAXY PROPERTIES
    (2012) Smith, Mathew; Nichol, Robert C; Dilday, Benjamin; Marriner, John; Kessler, Richard; Bassett, Bruce; Cinabro, David; Frieman, Joshua; Garnavich, Peter; Jha, Saurabh W; Lampeitl, Hubert; Sako, Masao; Schneider, Donald P; Sollerman, Jesper
    Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Supernova Survey-II (SDSS-II SN Survey), we measure the rate of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a function of galaxy properties at intermediate redshift. A samp ...

    Type II-P supernovae from the SDSS-II supernova survey and the standardized candle method
    (2010) D’Andrea, Chris B; Sako, Masao; Dilday, Benjamin; Frieman, Joshua A; Holtzman, Jon; Kessler, Richard; Konishi, Kohki; Schneider, D P; Sollerman, Jesper; Wheeler, J Craig; Yasuda, Naoki; Cinabro, David; Jha, Saurabh; Nichol, Robert C; Lampeitl, Hubert; Smith, Mathew; Atlee, David W; Bassett, Bruce; Castander, Francisco J; Goobar, Ariel; Miquel, Ramon; Nordin, Jakob; Östman, Linda; Prieto, José L; Quimby, Robert; Riess, Adam G; Stritzinger, Maximilian
    We apply the Standardized Candle Method (SCM) for Type II Plateau supernovae (SNe II-P), which relates the velocity of the ejecta of a SN to its luminosity during the plateau, to 15 SNe II-P discov ...
