Abstract:
Consistency between Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) and SDSS-II
Supernova Survey ugri measurements has been evaluated by comparing
Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and CSP photometry for nine
spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernova observed
contemporaneously by both programs. The CSP data were transformed into
the SDSS photometric system. Sources of systematic uncertainty have
been identified, quantified, and shown to be at or below the 0.023mag
level in all bands. When all photometry for a given band is combined,
we find average magnitude differences of equal to or less than
0.011mag in ugri, with rms scatter ranging from 0.043 to 0.077mag. The
u-band agreement is promising, with the caveat that only four of the
nine supernovae are well observed in u and these four exhibit an
0.038mag supernova-to-supernova scatter in this filter.
Description:
Between 2005 and 2007 the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP)
low-redshift program (Hamuy et al. 2006PASP..118....2H 2006PASP..118....2H) and SDSS-II
Supernova Survey observed 16 common objects, of which 10 are
spectroscopically confirmed Ia SNe. One of these 10 (SN 2006fw) has
image registration discrepancies, and has been excluded from our
analysis.
The SDSS-II Supernova Survey was one of three main scientific programs
carried out by the SDSS-II. SDSS-II ugriz imaging was obtained with
the SDSS camera attached to the SDSS 2.5m telescope located at the
Apache Point Observatory (APO).
The CSP optical (ugriBV) follow-up campaigns were carried out with the
Direct CCD Camera attached to the Henrietta Swope 1m telescope
located at the Las Campanas Observatory.
