Late Light Curves of SN 2002cx-like Type Ia Supernovae
Abstract
The use of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) in cosmological studies as “standard candle” distance indicators lead to the need for a better understanding of these objects. SN 2002cx was a very peculiar SNe Ia that did not fit into any of the known subclasses of SNe Ia and needs to be further understood. We present late-time optical photometry of three more recently discovered objects that have been determined to be SN 2002cx-like Type Ia supernovae: SN 2005hk, SN 2008A, and SN 2008ae. The light curves of these objects show late-time decline rates that are slower than what is seen in normal SNe Ia in the V,R, and I bands, but faster in the B-band.
