Abstract:The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is a five-year survey being carried out at the Las Campanas Observatory to obtain high-quality light curves of ~100 low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in a well-defined photometric system. Here we present the first release of photometric data that contains the optical light curves of 35 SNe Ia, and near-infrared light curves for a subset of 25 events. The data comprise 5559 optical (ugriBV) and 1043 near-infrared (Y JHKs) data points in the natural system of the Swope telescope. Twenty-eight SNe have pre-maximum data, and for 15 of these, the observations begin at least 5 days before B maximum. This is one of the most accurate data sets of low-redshift SNe Ia published to date. When completed, the CSP ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
Our follow-up program focuses on SNe discovered by professional and amateur astronomers who report them to the IAU Circulars (IAUC), the IAU Electronic Telegrams (CBET), or occasionally, directly to us via electronic mail. When word arrives of a new candidate, we place it in our follow-up queue. Photometric monitoring is obtained entirely at the Las Campanas Observatory (LCO).
