Abstract:
Motivated by the advantages of observing at near-IR wavelengths, we
investigate Type II supernovae (SNe II) as distance indicators at
those wavelengths through the Photospheric Magnitude Method (PMM). For
the analysis, we use BVIJH photometry and optical spectroscopy of 24
SNe II during the photospheric phase. To correct photometry for
extinction and redshift effects, we compute total-to-selective
broad-band extinction ratios and K-corrections up to z=0.032. To
estimate host galaxy colour excesses, we use the colour-colour curve
method with the V-I versus B-V as colour combination. We calibrate the
PMM using four SNe II in galaxies having Tip of the Red Giant Branch
distances. Among our 24 SNe II, nine are at cz>2000km/s, which we use
to construct Hubble diagrams (HDs). To further explore the PMM
distance precision, we include into HDs the four SNe used for
calibration and other two in galaxies with Cepheid and SN Ia
distances. With a set of 15 SNe II we obtain an HD rms of 0.13mag for
the J-band, which compares to the rms of 0.15-0.26mag for optical
bands. This reflects the benefits of measuring PMM distances with
near-IR instead of optical photometry. With the evidence we have, we
can set the PMM distance precision with J-band below 10 per cent with
a confidence level of 99 per cent.
Description:
We base our work on data obtained over the course of the Carnegie Type
II Supernova Survey (CATS; PI: Hamuy, 2002-2003), a program whose main
objective was to study nearby (z<0.05) SNe II. Optical photometry and
spectroscopy, along with some near-IR photometry, were obtained with
the 1-m Swope, 2.5-m du Pont, and 6.5-m Magellan Baade and Clay
telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. A few additional optical
images were obtained with the 0.9-m and 1.5-m telescopes at Cerro
Tololo Inter-American Observatory. During the CATS survey, 34 SNe II
were observed. Optical photometry and spectroscopy of these SNe II,
along with the description of the data reduction, is presented in
Galbany et al. (2016AJ....151...33G 2016AJ....151...33G, Cat. J/AJ/151/33) and Gutierrez
et al. (2017ApJ...850...89G 2017ApJ...850...89G), respectively.
