Beginning of ReadMe : J/ApJ/673/981 Type Ia supernova rates with HST ACS (Kuznetsova+, 2008) ================================================================================ A new determination of the high-redshift type Ia supernova rates with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys.

We employ a novel technique that does not require spectroscopic data for identifying SNe Ia (although spectroscopic measurements of redshifts are used for over half the sample); instead, we employ a Bayesian approach using only photometric data to calculate the probability that an object is an SN Ia. This Bayesian technique can easily be modified to incorporate improved priors on SN properties, and it is well-suited for future high-statistics SN searches in which spectroscopic follow-up of all candidates will be impractical. Here the method is validated on both ground- and space-based SN data having some spectroscopic follow-up. We combine our volumetric rate measurements with low-redshift SN data and fit to a number of possible models for the evolution of the SN Ia rate as a function of redshift. The data do not distinguish between a flat rate at redshift >0.5 and a previously proposed model, in which the Type Ia rate peaks at redshift 1 due to a significant delay from star formation to the SN explosion. Except for the highest redshifts, where the signal-to-noise ratio is generally too low to apply this technique, this approach yields uncertainties that are smaller than or comparable to previous work. Description: For this analysis, we use the HST GOODS data set collected in 2002-2003. In addition to the GOODS data, we use an HST sample collected in the spring and summer of 2004, which we hereafter call the 2004 Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) sample.
