We examine whether a comparison between wCDM and R_h=ct using merged Type Ia SN catalogs produces results consistent with those based on a single homogeneous sample. Using the Betoule et al. (2014) joint lightcurve analysis (JLA) of a combined sample of 613 events from SNLS and SDSS-II, we estimate the parameters of the two models and compare them. We find that the improved statistics can alter the model selection in some cases, but not others. In addition, based on the model fits, we find that there appears to be a lingering systematic offset of ~0.04-0.08 mag between the SNLS and SDSS-II sources, in spite of the cross-calibration in the JLA. Treating wCDM, LCDM and R_h=ct as separate models, we find in an unbiased pairwise statistical comparison that the Bayes Information Criterion (BIC) favors the R_h=ct universe with a likelihood of 82.8% versus 17.2% for wCDM, but the ratio of likelihoods is reversed (16.2% versus 83.8%) when w_de=-1 (i.e., LCDM) and strongly reversed (1.0% versus 99.0%) if in addition k=0 (i.e., flat LCDM). We point out, however, that the value of k is a measure of the net energy (kinetic plus gravitational) in the Universe and is not constrained theoretically, though some models of inflation would drive k to 0 due to an expansion-enforced dilution. Since we here consider only the basic LCDM model, the value of k needs to be measured and, therefore, the pre-assumption of flatness introduces a significant bias into the BIC.

Evidence for a correlation between the Si II 4000 width and Type Ia supernova color
本文研究了Ia型超新星Si Ⅱ 4000特征在红移0.0024 < z < 0.634范围内的赝等效宽度。我们发现,这个光谱指标与光变曲线颜色过剩(SALT 2 c)以及先前定义的光谱子类(分支类型)和Si II 6150速度的演变相关,即,即所谓的速度梯度。基于我们对来自不同调查的55个物体的研究,我们发现Si II 4000光谱指示器可以提供重要信息,以改善Ia型超新星的宇宙学距离测量。
