An Analysis of Supernovae and their Place in their Host Galaxies using Swift
Abstract
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been studied in detail across many different wavelength bands, but prior to Swift ultraviolet (UV) observations were few and far between. Now with Swift there is an extensive SNe repository containing many well-sampled SNe Ia UV light curves. Using Peter Brown's reduction pipeline we present galaxy subtracted photometry for multiple SNe Ia along with UV-optical color evolution. We study the UV emission of the locations of the supernovae (following Anderson et al. 2015) to see if that correlates with the UV colors or other properties of the individual supernovae.
