用多波段光变曲线测量Ia型超新星的距离和红移

Measuring Type Ia Supernova Distances and Redshifts From Their Multi-band Light Curves

Alex G. Kim, Ramon Miquel

摘要:

Ia型超新星的距离和红移可以通过它的多波段光变曲线同时测定。这一事实可以用于发现和获得大量超新星测光的成像调查;如此之多,很难获得每一个的光谱红移。利用现有的超新星分析工具,我们发现有几个条件,其中一个可行的距离红移可以确定。在z~0.3处的有效距离的不确定性主要是由红移的不确定性加上哈勃定律的陡度决定的。到z~0.5时,哈勃定律失效,距离模不确定性占主导地位。在峰值亮度下,观测结果的信噪比为50,每个格利兹带的观测周期为4天,这是使超新星的本征星等色散达到z=1.0所必需的。较低的信噪比可以通过增加红移先验(例如来自宿主星系的光度红移),在额外的红带中的观测,或者通过关注对这种测量有特殊影响的超新星红移来容忍。更严格的S/N的要求,预计改善系统控制内在的颜色,金属,和灰尘试图从光变曲线。

英文摘要:

The distance and redshift of a type Ia supernova can be determined simultaneously through its multi-band light curves. This fact may be used for imaging surveys that discover and obtain photometry for large numbers of supernovae; so many that it would be difficult to obtain a spectroscopic redshift for each. Using available supernova-analysis tools we find that there are several conditions in which a viable distance-redshift can be determined. Uncertainties in the effective distance at z~0.3 are dominated by redshift uncertainties coupled with the steepness of the Hubble law. By z~0.5 the Hubble law flattens out and distance-modulus uncertainties dominate. Observations that give S/N=50 at peak brightness and a four-day observer cadence in each of griz-bands are necessary to match the intrinsic supernova magnitude dispersion out to z=1.0. Lower S/N can be tolerated with the addition of redshift priors (e.g. from a host-galaxy photometric redshift), observations in an additional redder band, or by focusing on supernova redshifts that have particular leverage for this measurement. More stringent S/N requirements are anticipated as improved systematics control over intrinsic color, metallicity, and dust is attempted to be drawn from light curves.
