    • Cosmology with photometrically classified type IA supernovae from the SDSS-II supernova survey 

      Campbell, Heather; D’Andrea, Chris B.; Nichol, Robert C.; Sako, Masao; Smith, Mathew (The American Astronomical Society, 2013)
      We present the cosmological analysis of 752 photometrically–classified Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained from the full Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II) Supernova (SN) Survey, supplemented with host–galaxy ...

    • Null tests of the cosmological constant using supernovae 

      Yahya, Sahba; Seikel, Marina; Clarkson, Chris; Maartens, Roy; Smith, Mathew (American Physical Society, 2014)
      The standard concordance model of the Universe is based on the cosmological constant as the driver of accelerating expansion. This concordance model is being subjected to a growing range of inter-locking observations. ...

    • Probing the bias of radio sources at high redshift 

      Passmoor, S.; Cress, Catherine; Faltenbacher, Andreas; Johnston, Russell; Smith, Mathew; Ratsimbazafy, Ando; Hoyle, Ben (Oxford University Press, 2013)
      The relationship between the clustering of dark matter and that of luminous matter is often described using the bias parameter. Here, we provide a new method to probe the bias of intermediate-to-high-redshift radio ...

    • Properties of Type Ia supernovae inside rich galaxy clusters 

      Xavier, Henrique S.; Gupta, Ravi R.; Smith, Mathew; Sako, Masao; D’Andrea, Chris B.; Frieman, Joshua A.; Galbany, Lluis; Garnavich, Peter M.; Marriner, John; Nichol, Robert C.; Olmstead, Matthew D.; Schneider, Donald P. (Oxford University Press, 2013)
      We used the Gaussian Mixture Brightest Cluster Galaxy catalogue and Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II supernovae data with redshifts measured by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey to identify 48 Type Ia supernovae ...

    • SN Ia host galaxy properties from Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II spectroscopy 

      Johansson, Jonas; Thomas, Daniel; Smith, Mathew; Pforr, Janine; Maraston, Claudia; Nichol, Robert C.; Lampeitl, Hubert; Beifiori, Alessandra; Gupta, Ravi R.; Schneider, Donald P. (Oxford University Press, 2013)
      We study the stellar populations of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) host galaxies using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-II spectroscopy. The main focus is on the relationships of SN Ia properties with stellar velocity dispersion ...
