    • Analysis of Supernova Ejecta Velocities 
      Jozwiak, Andrew David
      A series of scripts were created in Python to isolate and measure the Si II absorption line feature in the spectra of Type Ia supernovae. This line feature was then compared to the rest wave length of Si II, and using the ...
    • The Diversity of Variations in the Spectra of Type Ia Supernovae 
      Wagers, Andrew James (2012-10-19)
      Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are currently the best probe of the expansion history of the universe. Their usefulness is due chiefly to their uniformity between supernovae (SNe). However, there are some slight variations ...
    • Precision Time Series Photometry and Its Application in Supernova Cosmology 
      Yang, Jiawen (2023-04-17)
      Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have played an important role in modern cosmology as distance indicators and have led to the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe. Such usage of SNe Ia hinges upon the precision ...
    • Unveiling the Ultraviolet Properties of Type Ia Supernovae 
      Devarakonda, Yaswant (2023-05-02)
      Type Ia supernovae are some of the most luminous transient events in our universe, but their ultraviolet (UV) properties remain relatively unexplored when compared to the optical and infrared properties. In this dissertation ...
