We present a novel technique for fitting restframe I-band light curves on a data set of 42 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Using the result of the fit, we construct a Hubble diagram with 26 SNe from the subset at 0.01< z<0.1. Adding two SNe at…

We construct a physically-parameterized probabilistic autoencoder (PAE) to learn the intrinsic diversity of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from a sparse set of spectral time series. The PAE is a two-stage generative model, composed of an…

Observations of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have led to suggestions of multiple progenitor and explosion scenarios. Distinguishing between scenarios and tying specific SNe Ia to individual scenarios however has so far been challenging.…
