CosmoClub: Supernovas Ia e Cosmologia
Sexta-feira, dia 31 de outubro, teremos o colega Pedro Bernardinelli falando sobre “Supernovae Ia and Cosmology”.
Amanhã (31/10) às 13h @ Sala Jayme Tiomno
Resumo:
We will discuss superficially the main supernova types: Ia, Ib, Ic and II, together with an overview of their spectra and light-curves. Then, we will proceed to details about supernovae Ia, detailing what makes this particular type different from the others. After that, the SALT and SALT2 models of supernovae spectral surfaces will be introduced, whose applications lead to the use of supernovae Ia as distance indicators for cosmologically-significant distances. Finally, the SNANA software package, which allows simulations of supernovae observations, will be shown.
