Core-collapse contamination in photometric samples of Type Ia Supernovae

This is an exciting time for cosmology with type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The recentlyconcluded Dark Energy Survey SN programme (DES-SN) has obtained the largest anddeepest high-redshift cosmological SN Ia sample, and the Vera Rubin Observatory isexpected to observe at least one order of magnitude more SNe Ia in the next decade.In both these experiments, only a limited fraction (.10 per cent) of the SNe can bespectroscopically classified. This leaves us with large ‘photometric’ SN samples, withthe potential for significant contamination by core-collapse SNe that may bias SN Iacosmological measurements. This thesis demonstrates how this contamination can bemodelled and accounted for in current and future cosmological analyses.First, I present state-of-the-art simulations of the SN universe. These are designedto accurately model the population of SNe Ia, peculiar SNe Ia and core-collapse SNe, aswell as their host galaxies. To improve the diversity and quality of the simulated corecollapseSNe, I build a new library of core-collapse SN templates using spectroscopicand photometric (optical and near-ultraviolet) data of 67 core-collapse SNe from theliterature. I account for our incomplete knowledge of core-collapse SN properties bygenerating a set of SN simulations (rather than a single one), each exploring differentmodelling choices and template libraries. I then characterise selection effects in theDES-SN survey and incorporate them in the simulations, thus obtaining a series ofDES-like simulated SN samples that can be compared to the observed DES-SN data.The agreement between the simulations and data is excellent across many observed SNproperties, including Hubble residuals. These simulations are the first to reproduce theobserved photometric SN and host galaxy properties in high-redshift surveys with no fine-tuning of the input parameters.I use my simulation framework to train and test the performance of SuperNNova,a photometric SN classifier based on recurrent neural networks. I explore differenttraining and validation strategies and show that, across all the DES-SN simulationstested, SuperNNova reduces core-collapse SN contamination to 0.8–3.5 per cent. Ithen show that biases due to contamination on the equation-of-state of dark energy,w, are < 0:008 when using our reference SuperNNova model. This compares to anexpected statistical uncertainty on w from the DES-SN sample of 0:039, thus showing that contamination is not a limiting systematic for the cosmological analysis of theDES-SN sample.The results presented in this thesis are the foundation of the DES SN Ia cosmologicalanalysis; they also provide important implications for the future of SN cosmology,as they demonstrate that contamination is not expected to significantly degrade thecosmological figure of merit of the Rubin SN Ia analysis.

Materials Data on PrNi5Sn by Materials Project

PrNi5Sn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eighteen Ni and two Sn atoms. There are six shorter (2.85 Å) and twelve longer (3.21 Å) Pr–Ni bond lengths. Both Pr–Sn bond lengths are 3.21 Å. In the second Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to twelve Ni and six equivalent Sn atoms. There are six shorter (2.97 Å) and six longer (3.21 Å) Pr–Ni bond lengths. All Pr–Sn bond lengths are 3.33 Å. There are four inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to three Pr, seven Ni, and two equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing NiPr3Ni7Sn2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ni–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.50 Å. Both Ni–Sn bond lengths are 2.72 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pr, three equivalent Ni, and four Sn atoms. There are one shorter (2.59 Å) and three longer (2.98 Å) Ni–Sn bond lengths. In the third Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pr and nine Ni atoms. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.85 Å. In the fourth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pr and nine Ni atoms. There are three inequivalent Sn sites.
