We present a revised SALT2 surface (`SALT2-2021) for fitting the light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), which incorporates new measurements of zero-point calibration offsets and Milky Way extinction. The most notable change in the new surface occurs in the UV region. This new surface alters the distance measurements of SNe~Ia, which can be used to investigate the nature of dark energy by probing the expansion history of the Universe. Using the revised SALT2 surface on public data from the first three years of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (combined with an external low-$z$ SNe Ia sample) and combining with cosmic microwave background constraints, we find a change in the dark energy equation of state parameter, $Delta w = 0.015 pm 0.004$. This result highlights the continued importance of controlling and reducing systematic uncertainties, particularly with the next generation of supernova analyses aiming to improve constraints on dark energy properties.
We present a new empirical fitting method for the optical light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia). We find that a variant broken-power-law function provides a good fit, with the simple assumption that the optical emission is approximately the bla
Upcoming high-cadence transient survey programmes will produce a wealth of observational data for Type Ia supernovae. These data sets will contain numerous events detected very early in their evolution, shortly after explosion. Here, we present synth
CCD BVRI photometry is presented for type Ia supernova 2008gy. The light curves match the template curves for fast-declining SN Ia, but the colors appear redder than average, and the SN may also be slightly subluminous. SN 2008gy is found to be locat
We present multi-band optical photometry of 94 spectroscopically-confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) in the redshift range 0.0055 to 0.073, obtained between 2006 and 2011. There are a total of 5522 light curve points. We show that our natural system
We investigate a new empirical fitting method for the optical light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) that is able to estimate the first-light time of SNe~Ia, even when they are not discovered extremely early. With an improved ability to estimate
