Supernova (SN) cosmology is based on the assumption that the corrected luminosity of SN Ia would not evolve with redshift. Recently, our age dating of stellar populations in early-type host galaxies (ETGs) from high-quality spectra has…

The reliability of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) may be limited by the imprint of their galactic origins. To investigate the connection between supernovae and their host characteristics, we developed an improved method to estimate the stellar…

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) serve as the most crucial standardizable candles in cosmology, providing direct measurements of the universe's expansion history. However, it is well-known that the post-standardization brightness of SNe Ia is…

We re-examine the claim by Wiseman et al. (2026) that progenitor-age bias has a negligible impact on cosmological inferences from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We show that their inferred host-age-Hubble residual (HR) slope is severely…

A string of recent studies has debated the exact form and physical origin of an evolutionary trend between the peak luminosity of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and the properties of the galaxies that host them. We shed new light on the…

Much of the research in supernova cosmology is based on an assumption that the peak luminosity of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), after a standardization process, is independent of the galactic environment. A series of recent studies suggested…

Supernova (SN) cosmology is based on the assumption that the width-luminosity relation (WLR) and the color-luminosity relation (CLR) in the type Ia SN luminosity standardization would not show {absolute magnitude differences} with…

Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology provides the most direct evidence for the presence of dark energy. This result is based on the assumption that the look-back time evolution of SN Ia luminosity, after light-curve corrections, would be…

Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are powerful standardizable candles for constraining cosmological models and provided the first evidence of the accelerated expansion of the universe. Their precision derives from empirical correlations, now…

We study the properties of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) as functions of the radial distance from their host galaxy centers. Using a sample of 62 SNe Ia with reliable luminosity, reddening, and decline rate determinations, we find no…

For low-redshift (z < 0.1) Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) samples used in several cosmological analyses over the past decade, we probe for systematic bias by looking for correlations between surface brightness (SB) measurements and Hubble…

Correlations between standardized Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) luminosities and host-galaxy properties are routinely modeled to avoid bias in cosmological parameter inference. A recent hypothesis attributes these correlations to progenitor-age…

We improve estimates of stellar mass and mass-weighted average age of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) host galaxies by combining UV and near-IR photometry with optical photometry in our analysis. Using 206 SNe Ia drawn from the full three-year…

The standardized magnitude of a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) correlates with host-galaxy properties, and a host mass-step correction is now routinely included in SN Ia luminosity standardization. Given that host mass cannot directly influence…

We review the use of Type Ia supernovae for cosmological distance determinations. Low-redshift SNe Ia (z < 0.1) demonstrate that (a) the Hubble expansion is linear, (b) H_0 = 65 +/- 2 (statistical) km/s/Mpc, (c) the bulk motion of the Local…
