Summary
Gravitational leakage into X-dimension
•
Use SNLS (Astier et al 2005) + Baryon
oscillations (Eisenstein et al 2005) to
examine 5D extenction of Friedmann
eqn suggested by Dvali,
Gabadadge,Porrati 2000; Deffayet,
Dvali, Gabadadze 2001.

Dust/reddening: a real problem!

•
Extinction:
DMB=RB·E(B-V) with RB~ 2 - 5
Extinction correction dominates
measurement error!
Exception: Elliptical galaxies (E/S0)
have little star-formation & dust.
•
Dust in SN host galaxy (or along line of
sight)
Correction assumes some reddening law,
typically Galactic type dust (SCP,High-Z
Team) or average fit to any kind of
reddening/blueing (SNLS)
Can only be estimated for individual SNe
with
a) accurate multi-wavelength data
b) good knowledge of intrinsic ”color”
of SNe
Extinction probabilty in a given galaxy
depends on where the SN explosion
happens

219 HST/ACS Orbits awarded (PI: Perlmutter) in
C14 for rolling search for SNe on galaxy clusters
0.9<z<1.4.
Clusters are rich on elliptical galaxies which (at low-z)
only host SNIa (no contamination) and extinction by
dust should be minimal.
Expect ~20 SNe in a ”sharp(er)” Hubble diagram.

Intergalactic dust
•
Large dust grains (weak wavelength
dependence) may exist in the IGmedium
• Evolution of dust density: two limiting
cases:
1. dust (1+z)3 [Model A]
2. dust (1+z)3 for z<0.5 &
dust(z>0.5)= dust(z=0.5) [Model B]

M=1
SDSS QSO colors (>16000 objects,
z<2) <0.1 mag extinction for SN1a at
z=1; faintness of SNe cannot be only
due to IG-dust
IG Dust cannot explain observed
faintness of SNe – but is a serious
concern for precision cosmology.
SNLS: |DM|<0.025; |w|<0.05

Lensing (de)magnification in the
GOODS SN survey: a study case
•
The photometric redshift catalogue for GOODS used to study the lineof-sight properties of the SNIa in the Riess et al 2004 sample
(see Gunnarsson et al ApJ 2006 and Jönsson et al ApJ 2006)

Magnification probability
•
We find evidence for magnified and
demagnified supernovae (1)
•
Uncertainty computed by error progation
from:
Finite field size error
Redshift and position errors
Scatter in FJ&TF relations
Survey magnitude limit (incompleteness)
PDF built up by randomizing the
contributions above according to their
individual uncertainties,

Estimate of magnification in SN1997ff
smaller than in Benitez et al 2002,
Riess et al 2004. This is understood,
both authors now agree with our
result.

Lensing PDFs for GOODS SN-sample
We found NO evidence
for selection effects
due to lensing in the
GOODS SN
sample.Negligible
corrections to ’s & w.
Expected lensing bias
on SNLS results is also
small:
|M| ~0.01 in M-
plane. Added
uncertainty on w0 is
sw~0.014 for BAO prior
(SNOC simulation)

Summary
• Lots of activities to increase the statistics of low, intermediate
and high-z Type Ia supernovae
• Emphasis on high-quality data – control of systematics
• Extinction/reddening corrections remain a source of concern
–especially for the highest-z data, maybe not in elliptical hosts
• Gravitational lensing (de)magnification not a problem for
high-z SNe
• Concordance model in excellent shape
…so far,  seems un-challenged by SN-data.
