New model combines supernova and host photometry for precise cosmological measurements

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new Bayesian hierarchical model to analyze type Ia supernovae and their host galaxy photometry. This model aims to infer intrinsic supernova properties, their rate over time, and cosmological parameters from photometric data alone. By incorporating physics-based simulations for star formation and dust extinction, the approach can achieve precise photometric redshifts and significantly improve cosmological constraints compared to methods relying on limited spectroscopic data.

    CIGaRS I: Combined simulation-based inference from type Ia supernovae and host photometry

    arXiv:2508.15899v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Using type Ia supernovae as cosmological probes requires empirical corrections that are correlated with their host environment. Here we present a unified Bayesian hierarchical model designed to infer, from purely photometr…
