A Snapshot Survey of Nearby Supernovae with the Hubble Space Telescope

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Over recent decades, robotic (or highly automated) searches for supernovae (SNe) have discovered several thousand events, many of them in quite nearby galaxies (distances < 30 Mpc).

Can decaying particle explain cosmic infrared background excess?

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2017
Recently the CIBER experiment measured the diffuse cosmic infrared background (CIB) flux and claimed an excess compared with integrated emission from galaxies. We show that the CIB spectrum can be fitted by the additional photons produced by the decay of

JWST Observations Reject Unrecognized Crowding of Cepheid Photometry as an Explanation for the Hubble Tension at 8σ Confidence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present high-definition observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of >1000 Cepheids in a geometric anchor of the distance ladder, NGC 4258, and in five hosts of eight Type Ia supernovae, a far greater sample than previous studies with ...

Obtaining accurate radial velocities for Cepheid companions using the STIS echelles

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
We discuss the high dispersion echelle observations of the hot binary companions of six Cepheids with known radial-velocity orbits that we have obtained with the STIS FUV E140H mode on board the Hubble Space Telescope, with the goal of determining the ...
