摘要:

我们提出的光谱观测结果从ESSENCE高红移超新星(SN)调查在其第一个四年的操作。这个样本包括所有Ia型超新星的光谱,其光变曲线由Miknaitis et al.(2007)提出,并用于Davis et al.(2007)和Wood-Vasey et al.(2007)的宇宙学分析。该样本代表了ESSENCE团队使用6.5 - 10米级望远镜对探测到的物体进行了273小时的光谱观测。我们提出了156个对象的174个光谱。将这个样本与Matheson等人(2005)的样本结合起来,我们总共有274个物体的329个光谱样本。由此,我们能够光谱分类118 Ia型SNe。随着调查的成熟,分类超新星Ia的效率保持不变,而我们已经观察到更高的红移超新星Ia和超新星Ia远离最大亮度。用主星系红移检查Ia超新星的子样本表明,仅从Ia超新星光谱得出的红移与从主星系光谱发现的红移一致。此外,来自只有超新星Ia光谱的相位是一致的来自光曲线拟合。通过与本地样本的光谱比较,我们发现我们的样本中与过亮SN 1991 T和欠亮SN 1991 bg相似的天体的比率与本地样本的比率是一致的。然而,我们确实注意到,我们没有探测到光谱学或光度学上与SN 1991 bg相似的物体。虽然系统效应可能会降低我们基于低红移巡天所预期的高红移率,但类似SN 1991 bg的Ia型超新星在高红移时可能不那么普遍。

英文摘要:

We present the results of spectroscopic observations from the ESSENCE high-redshift supernova (SN) survey during its first four years of operation. This sample includes spectra of all SNe Ia whose light curves were presented by Miknaitis et al. (2007) and used in the cosmological analyses of Davis et al. (2007) and Wood-Vasey et al. (2007). The sample represents 273 hours of spectroscopic observations with 6.5 - 10-m-class telescopes of objects detected and selected for spectroscopy by the ESSENCE team. We present 174 spectra of 156 objects. Combining this sample with that of Matheson et al. (2005), we have a total sample of 329 spectra of 274 objects. From this, we are able to spectroscopically classify 118 Type Ia SNe. As the survey has matured, the efficiency of classifying SNe Ia has remained constant while we have observed both higher-redshift SNe Ia and SNe Ia farther from maximum brightness. Examining the subsample of SNe Ia with host-galaxy redshifts shows that redshifts derived from only the SN Ia spectra are consistent with redshifts found from host-galaxy spectra. Moreover, the phases derived from only the SN Ia spectra are consistent with those derived from light-curve fits. By comparing our spectra to local templates, we find that the rate of objects similar to the overluminous SN 1991T and the underluminous SN 1991bg in our sample are consistent with that of the local sample. We do note, however, that we detect no object spectroscopically or photometrically similar to SN 1991bg. Although systematic effects could reduce the high-redshift rate we expect based on the low-redshift surveys, it is possible that SN 1991bg-like SNe Ia are less prevalent at high redshift.
