While the width-luminosity relation (WLR) among type Ia supernovae (slower is brighter) is one of the best studied properties of this type of events, its physical basis has not been identified convincingly. The 'luminosity' is known to be…

The photometric and spectroscopic observations of nearby type IIP supernova 2004dj are presented. The $^{56}$Ni mass estimated from the light curve is $\approx0.02 M_{\odot}$. This estimate is found to be consistent with the H$\alpha$…

Modeling type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosions in three dimensions allows to eliminate any undetermined parameters and provides predictive power to simulations. This is necessary to improve the understanding of the explosion mechanism and to…

We propose a robust, quantitative method to compare the synthetic light curves of a Type Ia Supernova (SNIa) explosion model with a large set of observed SNeIa, and derive a figure of merit for the explosion model's agreement with…

We present griz light curves of 251 Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first 3 years of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program's (DES-SN) spectroscopically classified sample. The photometric pipeline described in this paper produces the…

Manual fits to spectral times series of Type Ia supernovae have provided a method of reconstructing the explosion from a parametric model but due to lack of information about model uncertainties or parameter degeneracies direct comparison…

We examine the relationship between three parameters of Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia): peak magnitude, rise time, and photospheric velocity at the time of peak brightness. The peak magnitude is corrected for extinction using an estimate…
