Type II-P Supernovae from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey and the Standardized Candle Method (2009)
D'Andrea, Chris B., Sako, Masao, Dilday, Benjamin, Frieman, Joshua A., Holtzman, Jon, Kessler, Richard, ...
We apply the Standardized Candle Method (SCM) for Type II Plateau supernovae (SNe II-P), which relates the velocity of the ejecta of a SN to its luminosity during the plateau, to 15 SNe II-P...

We present measurements of the Hubble diagram for 103 Type Ia supernovae (SNe) with redshifts 0.04 < z < 0.42, discovered during the first season (Fall 2005) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II...
SNANA: A Public Software Package for Supernova Analysis (2009)
Kessler, Richard, Bernstein, Joseph P., Cinabro, David, Dilday, Benjamin, Frieman, Joshua A., Jha, Saurabh, ...
We describe a general analysis package for supernova (SN) light curves, called SNANA, that contains a simulation, light curve fitter, and cosmology fitter. The software is designed with the primary...
2006 SQ372: A Likely Long-Period Comet from the Inner Oort Cloud (2009)
Kaib, Nathan A., Becker, Andrew C., Jones, R. Lynne, Puckett, Andrew W., Bizyaev, Dmitry, Dilday, Benjamin, ...
We report the discovery of a minor planet (2006 SQ372) on an orbit with a perihelion of 24 AU and a semimajor axis of 796 AU. Dynamical simulations show that this is a transient orbit and is unstable...

We present a measurement of the rate of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first of three seasons of data from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey. For this measurement, we include 17 SNe Ia at redshift...
