What we can learn from SN spectra and light curves

Speaker

Mrs Maximilian Stritzinger (Stockholm University)

Description

The Carnegie Supernova Project obtained detailed optical (uBgVri) and near-IR (YJHKs) light curves of 35 Type Ib/c and Type IIb supernova. This data set is particularly well-suited to explore color relations over a broad wavelength range, and may offer new ways to accurately estimate host galaxy extinction. I will present the photometric sample and results from an initial analysis of the light curves and spectrophotometry.
