Type II-P Supernovae from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey and the Standardized Candle Method (2009)

D'Andrea, Chris B., Sako, Masao, Dilday, Benjamin, Frieman, Joshua A., Holtzman, Jon, Kessler, Richard, ...

We apply the Standardized Candle Method (SCM) for Type II Plateau supernovae (SNe II-P), which relates the velocity of the ejecta of a SN to its luminosity during the plateau, to 15 SNe II-P...

First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Results: Hubble Diagram and Cosmological Parameters (2009)

Kessler, Richard, Becker, Andrew, Cinabro, David, Vanderplas, Jake, Frieman, Joshua A., Marriner, John, ...

We present measurements of the Hubble diagram for 103 Type Ia supernovae (SNe) with redshifts 0.04 < z < 0.42, discovered during the first season (Fall 2005) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II: Photometry and Supernova Ia Light Curves from the 2005 data (2009)

Holtzman, Jon A., Marriner, John, Kessler, Richard, Sako, Masao, Dilday, Ben, Frieman, Joshua A., ...

We present ugriz light curves for 146 spectroscopically confirmed or spectroscopically probable Type Ia supernovae from the 2005 season of the SDSS-II Supernova survey. The light curves have been...

SNANA: A Public Software Package for Supernova Analysis (2009)

Kessler, Richard, Bernstein, Joseph P., Cinabro, David, Dilday, Benjamin, Frieman, Joshua A., Jha, Saurabh, ...

We describe a general analysis package for supernova (SN) light curves, called SNANA, that contains a simulation, light curve fitter, and cosmology fitter. The software is designed with the primary...

The Carnegie Supernova Project: First Near-Infrared Hubble Diagram to z~0.7 (2009)

Freedman, Wendy L., Burns, Christopher R., Phillips, M. M., Wyatt, Pamela, Persson, S. E., Madore, Barry F., ...

The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is designed to measure the luminosity distance for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a function of redshift, and to set observational constraints on the dark energy...

First-Year Spectroscopy for the SDSS-II Supernova Survey (2008)

Zheng, Chen, Romani, Roger W., Sako, Masao, Marriner, John, Bassett, Bruce, Becker, Andrew, ...

This paper presents spectroscopy of supernovae discovered in the first season of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey. This program searches for and measures multi-band light curves of...

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTIONS OF TENSION MEMBERS FOR USE IN AIRCRAFT ARRESTMENT EQUIPMENT (2005)

HAUSKNECHT,DONALD F., KESSLER,RICHARD, DARIENZO,MICHAEL F.

An analyticl investigaton and experimental verification of the dependency of the impact tolerance of tension members on their geometrical and material characteristics was made. Tests were conducted...
