We compare ultraviolet (UV) and optical colors of a sample of 29 type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed with the Swift satellites UltraViolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) with theoretical models of an asymmetric explosion viewed from different angles from Kasen & Plewa. This includes mid-UV (1600-2700 Angstroms; uvw2 and uvm2) and near-UV (2700-4000 Angstroms; uvw1 and u) filters. We find the observed colors to be much redder than the model predictions, and that these offsets are unlikely to be caused by dust reddening. We confirm previous results that high-velocity SNe Ia have red UV-optical colors. When correcting the colors for dust reddening by assuming a constant b-v color we find no correlation between the uvw1-v or u-v colors and the ejecta velocities for 25 SNe Ia with published velocities and/or spectra. When assuming an optical color-velocity relation, a correlation of 2 and 3.6 sigma is found for uvw1-v and u-v. However, we find that the correlation is driven by the reddening correction and can be reproduced with random colors which are corrected for reddening. The significance of a correlation between the UV colors and the velocity is thus dependent on the assumed slope of the optical color-velocity relation. After such a correction, the uvw1-v versus velocity slope is shallower than that predicted by the models and offset to redder colors. A significant scatter still remains in the uvw1-v colors including a large spread at low velocities. This demonstrates that the NUV-blue/red spread is not caused solely by the photospheric velocity. The uvm2-uvw1 colors also show a large dispersion which is uncorrelated with the velocity.
Understanding the intrinsic colors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is important to their use as cosmological standard candles. Understanding the effects of reddening and redshift on the observed colors are complicated and dependent on the intrinsic sp
Ultraviolet (UV) observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) probe the outermost layers of the explosion, and UV spectra of SNe Ia are expected to be extremely sensitive to differences in progenitor composition and the details of the explosion. Here
The ejecta velocities of type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), as measured by the Si II $lambda 6355$ line, have been shown to correlate with other supernova properties, including color and standardized luminosity. We investigate these results using the Found
We quantify the effect of supernova Type Ia peculiar velocities on the derivation of cosmological parameters. The published distant and local Ia SNe used for the Supernova Legacy Survey first-year cosmology report form the sample for this study. Whil
We present optical and near-IR 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 circumstellar material (CSM), blue $B
