Context. As type Ia supernova cosmology transitions from a statistics-dominated to systematics-dominated era, it is crucial understand the remaining unexplained uncertainties that affect their luminosity, such as those stemming astrophysical biases. Type supernovae are standardisable candles whose absolute magnitude reaches scatter of typically 0.15 mag when empirical correlations with light-curve stretch and colour environmental properties accounted for. Aims. We investigate dependence...

Context. Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology studies will soon be dominated by systematic, uncertainties, rather than statistical ones. Thus, it is crucial to understand the unknown phenomena potentially affecting their luminosity that may remain, such as astrophysical biases. For accurate application in studies, SN magnitudes need standardised; namely, they must corrected for correlation with light-curve width and colour. Aims. Here, we investigate how standardisation procedure used reduce...

Abstract Recent studies have shown that the observed color distributions of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can be well described by a combination dust distribution and an intrinsic distribution. Using Pantheon+ sample 1701 SN Ia, we apply new forward-modeling fitting method (Dust2Dust) to measure parent distributions, including their dependence on host-galaxy mass. At each fit step, selection efficiency is determined from large simulated reweighted reflect proposed distributions. We use five...

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....

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.
