A systematic approach to institutional analysis: Applying Crawford and Ostrom's grammar

Basurto, X; Kingsley, G; McQueen, K; Smith, M; Weible, CM (Political Research Quarterly, 2010-10-07)

In 1995, Crawford and Ostrom proposed a grammatical syntax for examining institutional statements (i.e., rules, norms, and strategies) as part of the institutional analysis and development framework. This article constitutes ...

First Cosmology Results using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: The Effect of Host Galaxy Properties on Supernova Luminosity

Smith, M; Sullivan, M; Wiseman, P; Kessler, R; Scolnic, D; Brout, D; D’Andrea, CB; ... (91 authors)

We present improved photometric measurements for the host galaxies of 206 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernovae discovered by the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN) and used in the first DES-SN ...

Optical follow-up of gravitational wave triggers with DECam during the first two LIGO/VIRGO observing runs

Herner, K; Annis, J; Brout, D; Soares-Santos, M; Kessler, R; Sako, M; Butler, R; ... (85 authors)

Gravitational wave (GW) events detectable by LIGO and Virgo have several possible progenitors, including black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, black hole--neutron star mergers, supernovae, and cosmic string cusps. A ...

Supernova Host Galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey: I. Deep Coadds, Photometry, and Stellar Masses

Wiseman, P; Smith, M; Childress, M; Kelsey, L; Möller, A; Gupta, RR; Swann, E; ... (83 authors)

The five-year Dark Energy Survey supernova programme (DES-SN) is one of the largest and deepest transient surveys to date in terms of volume and number of supernovae. Identifying and characterising the host galaxies ...

Supernova Siblings: Assessing the Consistency of Properties of Type Ia Supernovae that Share the Same Parent Galaxies

Scolnic, D; Smith, M; Massiah, A; Wiseman, P; Brout, D; Kessler, R; Davis, TM; ... (85 authors)

While many studies have shown a correlation between properties of the light curves of Type Ia SN (SNe Ia) and properties of their host galaxies, it remains unclear what is driving these correlations. We introduce a new direct ...

The Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program: Modelling selection efficiency and observed core collapse supernova contamination

Vincenzi, M; Sullivan, M; Graur, O; Brout, D; Davis, TM; Frohmaier, C; Galbany, L; ... (82 authors)

The analysis of current and future cosmological surveys of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at high-redshift depends on the accurate photometric classification of the SN events detected. Generating realistic simulations of photometric ...
