We present constraints on cosmological parameters from the Pantheon+ analysis of 1701 light curves 1550 distinct Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) ranging in redshift $z=0.001$ to 2.26. This work features an increased sample size, span, and improved treatment systematic uncertainties comparison original Pantheon results a factor two improvement constraining power. For Flat$\Lambda$CDM model, we find $\Omega_M=0.334\pm0.018$ SNe alone. Flat$w_0$CDM measure $w_0=-0.90\pm0.14$ alone, H$_0=73.5\pm1.1$...

ABSTRACT We report constraints on a variety of non-standard cosmological models using the full 5-yr photometrically classified type Ia supernova sample from Dark Energy Survey (DES-SN5YR). Both Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Suspiciousness calculations find no strong evidence for or against any we explore. When combined with external probes, AIC agree that 11 15 are moderately preferred over Flat-$\Lambda$CDM suggesting additional flexibility in our may be required beyond constant....
Cosmological analyses with type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) often assume a single empirical relation between color and luminosity ($\beta$) do not account for varying host-galaxy dust properties. However, from studies of in large samples galaxies, it is known that attenuation can vary significantly. Here we take advantage state-of-the-art modeling galaxy properties to characterize parameters (dust $A_V$, parameter describing the law slope $R_V$) Dark Energy Survey (DES) SN host galaxies using...

ABSTRACT For the past decade, SALT2 has been most common model used to fit Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) light curves for dark energy analyses. Recently, SALT3 was released, which upgraded a number of features but not yet measurements energy. Here, we evaluate impact switching from SN cosmology analysis. We train and on an identical training sample 1083 well-calibrated supernovae, ensuring that any differences found come underlying framework. publicly release results this (the SALT ‘surfaces’)....

Current and future cosmological analyses with Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) face three critical challenges: i) measuring redshifts from the supernova or its host galaxy; ii) classifying SNe without spectra; iii) accounting for correlations between properties of their galaxies. We present here a novel approach that addresses each challenge. In context Dark Energy Survey (DES), we analyze SNIa sample galaxies in redMaGiC galaxy catalog, selection Luminous Red Galaxies. Photo-$z$ estimates these...

ABSTRACT Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology analyses include a luminosity step function in their distance standardization process to account for an observed yet unexplained difference the post-standardization luminosities of SNe originating from different host galaxy populations [e.g. high-mass ($M \gtrsim 10^{10} \, {\rm M}_{\odot }$) versus low-mass galaxies]. We present novel method including host-mass correlations SALT3 (Spectral Adaptive Light curve Template 3) light model used...
As the climate continues to change, it is not just magnitude of these changes that important - equally critical timing events.
