Dependence of Type Ia supernova luminosities on their local environment

Résumé

We present a fully consistent catalog of local and global properties of host galaxies of 882 Type Ia supernov\ae\ (SNIa) that were selected based on their light-curve properties, spanning the redshift range $0.01 < z < 1.\text{}$ This catalog corresponds to a preliminary version of the compilation sample and includes Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) 5-year data, Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and low-redshift surveys. We measured low- and moderate-redshift host galaxy photometry in SNLS and SDSS images and used spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques to derive host properties such as stellar mass and $U-V$ rest-frame colors; the latter are an indicator of the luminosity-weighted age of the stellar population in a galaxy. We also estimated the local observed fluxes at the supernova location within a proper distance radius of 3 kpc, and transposed them into local $U-V$ rest-frame colors. Selecting SNIa based on host photometry quality, we then performed cosmological fits using local color as a third standardization variable, for which we split the sample at the median value. We find a local color step as significant as the maximum mass step effect. Correcting for the maximum mass step correction, we still find a significant local color effect, which shows that additional information is provided by the close environment of SNIa. Departures from the initial choices were investigated, and we discuss the possible implications for cosmology. This will be of tremendous importance for the forthcoming SNIa surveys, and in particular for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), for which uncertainties on the dark energy equation of state will be comparable to the effects reported here.
