6. Observations of distant supernovae and cosmological implications
Sammanfattning : Type Ia supernovae can be used as distance indicators for probing the expansion history of the Universe. The method has proved to be an efficient tool in cosmology and played a decisive role in the discovery of a yet unknown energy form, dark energy, that drives the accelerated expansion of the Universe.

7. Extending the observational reach of core-collapse supernovae for IceCube using high-energy neutrinos
Sammanfattning : Neutrino telescopes such as IceCube monitor for low-energy neutrinos O(10 MeV) produced in nuclear processes during core-collapse in supernovae. The detection horizon to the neutrino burst is 50 kpc, the distance to the Magellanic Clouds. LÄS MER
8. Type Ia Supernovae : Homogeneity and Diversity
Sammanfattning : The use of type Ia supernovae as distance estimators has shown that about 75% of the energy content of the universe has a negative equation of state parameter and thus, drives the acceleration of the universe. Constraining the exact nature of this energy is one of the main goals in cosmology. LÄS MER
9. The Frequency of Supernovae in the Early Universe
Sammanfattning : Supernovae are cosmic explosions of cataclysmic proportion that signify the death of a star. While being interesting phenomena in their own right, their brightness also make them excellent probes of the early universe. Depending on the type of the progenitor star and the origin of the explosion different subjects can be investigated. LÄS MER
10. Sources of Dust Extinction in Type Ia Supernovae : Measurements and constraints from X-rays to the Infrared
Sammanfattning : The use of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators is essential for studying the expansion history of the Universe and for exploring the nature of dark energy. However, a lack of understanding of the progenitor systems and the empirically derived colour-brightness corrections represent severe limitations for SNe Ia as cosmological probes. LÄS MER
