Toward an Internally Consistent Astronomical Distance Scale

Accurate astronomical distance determination is crucial for all fields in astrophysics, from Galactic to cosmological scales. Despite, or perhaps because of, significant efforts to determine accurate distances, using a wide range of methods, tracers, and t ...

High-redshift supernova rates measured with the gravitational telescope A 1689

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Richard

Aims. We present a ground-based, near-infrared search for lensed supernovae behind the massive cluster Abell 1689 at z = 0.18, which is one of the most powerful gravitational telescopes that nature provides. Methods. Our survey was based on multi-epoch J-b ...

Lensed Type Ia supernovae as probes of cluster mass models

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Johan Richard

Using three magnified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) detected behind CLASH (Cluster Lensing and Supernovae with Hubble) clusters, we perform a first pilot study to see whether standardizable candles can be used to calibrate cluster mass maps created from stro ...

Searching for soft relativistic jets in core-collapse supernovae with the IceCube optical follow-up program

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

Context. Transient neutrino sources such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) are hypothesized to emit bursts of high-energy neutrinos on a time-scale of less than or similar to 100 s. While GRB neutrinos would be produced in high relativistic j ...

Novel technique for supernova detection with IceCube

Mathieu Ribordy

The current supernova detection technique used in IceCube relies on the sudden deviation of the summed photomultiplier noise rate from its nominal value during the neutrino burst, making IceCube a approximate to 3 Megaton effective detection volume - class ...

Nucleosynthesis And The Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution Of The Carina Dwarf Galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

The detailed abundances of 23 chemical elements in nine bright red giant branch stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy are presented based on high-resolution spectra gathered at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and Magellan telescopes. A spherical model ...

Manganese in dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We provide manganese abundances (corrected for the effect of the hyperfine structure) for a large number of stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Sculptor and Fornax, and for a smaller number in the Carina and Sextans dSph galaxies. Abundances had already ...

Constraints on high-energy neutrino emission from SN 2008D

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

SN 2008D, a core collapse supernova at a distance of 27 Mpc, was serendipitously discovered by the Swift satellite through an associated X-ray flash. Core collapse supernovae have been observed in association with long gamma-ray bursts and X-ray flashes an ...

The Cas A-Like Snr 1E 0102.2-7219 In The Small Magellanic Cloud: An Asymmetric Bipolar Explosion

Frédéric Vogt

We have used the Wide Field Spectrograph on the 2.3 m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory to map the [O III] lambda 5007 dynamics of the young oxygen-rich supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. From the resultant data cube, we h ...
