  5. Low-z CSP Goals • Obtain high-quality, gap-free BVugriYJHK light curves and optical spectrophotometry of: • ≥100 nearby (z<0.07) Type Ia supernovae • ≥100 nearby (z<0.05) Type II supernovae • ≥20 nearby (z<0.05) Type Ibc supernovae • Refine methods for obtaining distances to Type Ia and Type II supernovae • Provide a new fundamental reference for observations of high-z supernovae • Gain insight into the progenitors and explosion mechanisms of supernovae

  6. Telescopes/Instruments } Low-z workhorse Optical (u’BVg’r’i’) Photometry: Las Campanas Swope 1-m telescope + CCD Infrared (YJsHKs) Photometry: Las Campanas Swope 1-m telescope + RetroCam (YJH) Las Campanas du Pont 2.5-m telescope + WIRC (YJHK) Las Campanas Baade 6.5-m telescope + PANIC (YJHK) High-z Optical (0.32-1.0 μm) Spectroscopy: Las Campanas du Pont 2.5-m telescope + WFCCD (or Modspec, or B&C) Magellan Clay 6.5-m telescope + LDSS-3 (or IMACS) CTIO 1.5-m telescope + Cassegrain Spectrograph (service mode) ESO NTT+EMMI Swope 1-m Du Pont 2.5-m Magellan 6.5-m

  7. Observing Campaigns One 9-month campaign per year from September-May • ~230 nights per campaign at Swope 1-m • ~80 nights per campaign at duPont 2.5-m • A few nights of Magellan time • A total of five campaigns will be carried out • The final campaign will end in this coming May!

  8. Filters BV + ugri + YJHKs

  9. Sources for Supernovae LOSS + many others And, beginning in 2008, CHASE!

  10. Statistics After 4 Campaigns Through 4 campaigns, observations have been obtained of 286 SNe. Of these, a full set of follow-up observations has been obtained for 194 (67%)

  11. Statistics (cont.) Through the first 4 campaigns, a total of 1,190 spectra of 211 SNe have been obtained Classifications reported to IAUC for 101 SNe Most spectra obtained at Las Campanas Observatory Additional spectra obtained with ESO NTT, and in collaboration with Darren Depoy & Jose Luis Prieto For the SNe selected for follow-up during the first three campaigns, average sampling frequency was ~1 spectrum per 9-10 days This has been improved during the last two campaigns through a collaboration with the Millennium Center for Supernova Studies (Mario Hamuy, PI)

  12. SNe Ia Observed in Campaigns 1 & 2

  13. Low-z SNe Ia: Redshift Range by Type ~75% of SNe Ia lie in Hubble flow (z > 0.015) Median redshift of SNe II is less than that of SNe Ia since SNe II are intrinsically less luminous; nevertheless, more than half of SNe II lie in Hubble Flow SNe Ib/Ic are much less common, and also relatively nearby due to their low luminosities

  14. Low-z SNe Ia: Optical Light Curves 0.90 m15(B) 1.83

  15. Low-z SNe Ia: Optical Light Curves

  16. Low-z SNe Ia: Range of Decline Rates

  17. Low-z SNe Ia: Near-Infrared Photometry Near-IR (NIR) photometry is a key component of the Low-z CSP Goal is to obtain NIR observations of most SNe at a cadence of one set of YJH observations per 3-5 days This goal was not achieved for the first CSP campaign (due to delays in completing the Retrocam imager for the Swope 1 m telescope) The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th campaigns have achieved this goal, resulting in some of the best NIR light curves of SNe Ia, SNe Ib/c, and SNe II ever obtained NIR light curves will be obtained for > 80% of SNe

  18. Low-z SNe Ia: Light Curve Templates

  19. i’ templates CSP i’ light curves

  20. Low-z SNe Ia: Light Curve Shapes • The secondary maximum is observed from the r to the K bands, and is strongest in the Y band (1.03 µm) • The time between the primary and secondary maxima is typically ~30 days; the secondary maxima occurs earlier for faster-declining events

  21. Commercial Break For many more results on the CSP sample of Low-z SNe, don’t miss Gaston Folatelli’s talk this afternoon!

  22. Measuring Dark Energy with SNe Ia:Current State of the Art SN Legacy Survey ESSENCE From: Astier et al. 2006 From: Wood-Vasey et al. 2007

  24. CSP High-z SNe Ia • At the redshift range (0.3 < z < 1.0) observed by SNLS and ESSENCE, the light curves correspond to the UBV bands in the rest system • To minimize errors due to reddening, the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) has been working to produce the first rest system i band Hubble diagram over the redshift range (0.01 < z < 0.7) z = 0.35 z = 0.63 This is a completely new and independent data set!

  30. SN 2007Y: A Type Ic SN The CSP observes ALL nearby SNe caught at or before maximum Max Stritzinger has been working on CSP data obtained of SN 2007Y, a type Ib/c SN This SN was also observed with Swift in the UV and X-Rays These data are among the best ever obtained for a SN of this type

  36. Making the Data Available • In early-February, we expect to submit three papers: • A first data paper presenting optical and NIR photometry for 35 Low-z SNe Ia • An accompanying analysis paper of these data, and • A third paper presenting rest system i band light curves of 35 High-z SNe Ia • Next week, a paper on the type Ib SN 2007Y will also be submitted • Data will be made available immediately thereafter to those who are interested via a special web site • We will also work with IPAC to make the data permanently accessible via NED
