1 Observational cosmology and Type Ia Supernovae, Part II Rahman Amanullah, The Oskar Klein Centre, Stockholm University
2 Cosmology fits SN Ia cosmology tutorial Spectrum Search Subtraction Lightcurve Reference Hubble diagram
3 Recap of yesterday Astrophysics Cosmology
4 Type Ia Supernovae Degenerate white dwarf Thermonuclear explosion of a CO white dwarf that has reached the Chandrasekhar mass ~ 1.4 Msun Outshines entire host galaxy (for a short time). SN 2012bm Standard candles ~10-15% scatter in brightness. Spectrum: Silicon, but unlike other SN types, no H or He. UGC 8189 NOTCam / Tanja Petrushevska M ~ -19.3
5 SN Ia lightcurve The SN lightcurve is powered by radioactive decay of 56Ni 56Co 56Fe 3 weeks
6 SN Ia spectrum (courtesy of Jakob Nordin)
7 Explosion scenario Single degenerate Chemical composition spectroscopy Delay-time distribution SN rate vs environment Double degenerate
8 Delay time and rates Supernova Cosmology Project Barbary et al. (2012) Try to catch SNe Ia as early as possible! Kankare et al. (2008)
9 Evolution? Courtesy of Jakob Nordin 11 orbits with HST/ACS Rubin et al. (in prep.) SN z = 1.72
10 Constraints on dark energy Amanullah et al. (2010) Assuming a timeindependent w and a flat Universe w =
11 Pros and cons of SN cosmology Pros: Cons: Probes expansion rate directly Astrophysical uncertainties: Brightness evolution Dimming along the line of sight Most mature technique today Up to now simple and cheap: acceleration was discovered using m telescopes 06/13/12 Future will require high instrumental accuracy
12 Systematics for the Union2 sample
13 What do we mean by magnitude?
14 SN Ia at z = 0
15 SN Ia at z = 1
16 K-corrections K-corrections are needed for comparing SNe observed at different redshifts. Assumption of the spectrum is needed Need to correct for dimming
17 SNe Ia are standard candles... sort of... SN distance modulus Normalised flux Brightness (rest-frame Bmax) and color (c~e(b-v)) at maximum Shape (x1) Discovery! Days since maximum (rest-frame) Cosmology Measured SN properties Fitted parameters Fitted peak brightness can be color and lightcurve shape corrected to form a standard candle that can be used for measuring relative cosmological distances.
18 Stretch and color Phillips (1993) Goobar & Leibundgut (2011)
19 Selection effects Goobar & Leibundgut (2011)
20 Extinction laws RV~β-1
21 What is causing the reddening? Extinction? Intrinsic variations? Perhaps it is a Combination of both...? Circumstellar? Intergalactic? SN Observer Host galaxy
22 Different sources of reddening? Interstellar dust extinction? Intrinsic? Nordin et al. (2011)
23 Circumstellar Dust Folatelli et al. (2010) Could CS dust explain SN colours (Wang 2005, Goobar, 2008)? Circumstellar Dust SN
24 Na I D in 2006X Host Patat et al. (2008) Sternberg et al. (2011)
25 Reddening vs ejecta velocity? Wang et al. (2009)
26 How do we solve this mystery? Template UV NIR data are called for!
27 Can we circumvent the problem? Freedman et al. (2009)
28 Atmospheric emission
29 SN properties vs host properties Nordin et al. (2011)
30 Host evolution SN brightness depends on the host galaxy mass! Kelly et al. (2010), Sullivan et al. (2010), Lampeitl et al. (2010) Higher host mass brighter SN The low-z sample has a are hosted by more massive galaxies than the high-z data But now we are correcting for this (Conley et al., 2011 and Suzuki et al., 2012) Sullivan et al. (2010)
31 The SN Ia host environment Red vs blue galaxies Sullivan et al. (2006)
32 Choose a special environment!
