R-band light-curve properties of Type Ia supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory

R-band light-curve properties of Type Ia supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory

We present the best 265 sampled R-band light curves of spectroscopically identified Type Ia supernovae (SNe) from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF; 2009-2012) survey and the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF; 2013-2017). A model-independent light curve template is built from our data-set with the purpose to investigate average properties and …
