The host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
- Abstract:
-
We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxies of 82 low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory.We determine star formation rates, gas-phase/stellarmetallicities, and stellarmasses and ages of these objects. As expected, strong correlations between the SN Ia light-curve width (stretch) and the host age/mass/metallicity are found: fainter, faster declining events tend to be hosted by older/massive/metal-rich galaxies. There is some evidence...
