We present a new method to standardize Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) luminosities to ~<0.13 magnitudes using flux ratios from a single flux-calibrated spectrum per SN. Using Nearby Supernova Factory spectrophotomery of 58 SNe Ia, we performed…

The ejecta velocities of type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), as measured by the Si II $\lambda 6355$ line, have been shown to correlate with other supernova properties, including color and standardized luminosity. We investigate these results…

The ejecta velocity is a very important parameter in studying the structure and properties of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). It is also a candidate key parameter in improving the utility of SNe Ia for cosmological distance determinations.…

Using type Ia supernovae as cosmological probes requires empirical corrections that are correlated with their host environment. Here we present a unified Bayesian hierarchical model designed to infer, from purely photometric observations,…
