  1. A Step towardsPrecise Cosmology from Type Ia SupernovaeWang XiaofengTsinghua UniversityIHEP, Beijing, 23/04, 2006

  2. Outlines • What is Supernova? • The light curve properties of SNe Ia • The empirical calibration methods for SNe Ia • New cosmological distances from SNe Ia and the implications for cosmology

  3. Supernova Explosion! SN 2005mf

  4. Supernova Search A New record: 365 in 2005! 300-400/year since 1998

  5. Stellar evolution and supernova explosion

  6. Raw Hubble diagram of SNe Ia

  7. Luminosity Function of SNe Ia (wang et al. 2005b)

  8. The environmental effect on SN luminosity

  9. SN Ia correlations • m15 relation  BATM Phillips (1993), Hamuy et al. (1996), Phillips et al. (1999) • MLCS  MLCS2k2 Riess et al. (1996, 1998), Jha et al. (2003) • Stretch  SALT Perlmutter et al. (1997), Goldhaber et al. (2001), Guy et al. (2005) • C12 method • Wang et al. (2005a, b)

  10. The template method (Phillips 1993, Hamuy et al. 1996)

  11. The light curve fitting by template

  12. Phillips et al. 1999 Luminosity vs. decline ratePiskovski-Phllips relation

  13. B V I MLCS method The SN Ia luminosity can be normalised Bright = slow Dim = fast Riess et al. 1996

  14. The reasons underlying the light curve correlation Deductions Slower SNe Ia are more luminous --more energy radiated More luminous SNe Ia have slower declines at late phases (Phillips et al. 1999, Contardo et al. 2001) -- slower release of the energy Slower SNe Ia have larger expansion velocities (Mazzali et al. 1998) --less efficient trapping of -rays Contardo et al. 2000; data for SN 1991 from Strolger et al. 2002

  15. The nearby SNe Ia distance accuracy around 8-12% Evidence for good distances, but not good enough for precise cosmology Tonry et al. 2003

  16. The post-maximum color calibration(Wang et al. 2005)

  17. SN Peak Luminosity vs. C12 distance accuracy around 4-5%

  18. Treatment of the host galaxy reddening

  19. Non-standard dust in other galaxies (Wang et al. 2006a) Smaller than the standard values of 5.5 in U, 4.3 in B, 3.3 in V, and 1.8 in I in the Milkyway SN explosion may change the size of the dust grains or the distribution of the dust in CSM

  20. Second parameter correlations

  21. The residual correlations

  22. The Most Precise Hubble diagram from SNe Ia

  23. Normalising Type Ia Supernovae • light curve and color curve shape corrections • what is the determining parameter? • Ni mass trapped energy light curve shape (affected also by opacity?) • temperature  colour • explosion mechanism? • What are the subluminous objects? • a faint end of normal or distinct type ?

  24. Applications to SNLS data

  25. Comparison between different methods: magnitudes at maximum (TF Vs. SF)

  26. DC12 vs. Stretch factor

  27. distribution of Color parameters and Extinction Nearby vs. distant DC12: 0.44 vs. 0.33 E(B-V)host: 0.062vs.0.077
