We develop a method for estimating the host galaxy dust extinction for type Ia supernovae based on an observational coincidence first noted by Lira (1995), who found that the B-V evolution during the period from 30-90 days after V maximum is remarkably similar for all events, regardless of light curve shape. This fact is used to calibrate the dependence of the B(max)-V(max) and V(max)-I(max) colors on the light curve decline rate parameter delta-m15, which can, in turn, be used to separately estimate the host galaxy extinction. Using these methods to eliminate the effects of reddening, we reexamine the functional form of the decline rate versus luminosity relationship and provide an updated estimate of the Hubble constant of Ho = 63.3 +- 2.2(internal) +- 3.5(external) km/s/Mpc.

  1. Optical observations on the young Type Ia SN 2021fxy with detached high velocity features

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In SN 2021fxy, the high-velocity Si II λ6355 absorption declines as roughly t^−0.1, much shallower than the t^−0.22 expected from standard outer ejecta, pointing to detached density structures.

  2. The type Ia supernova 2023vjh: a peculiar 1991bg-like SN with unusually faint light curves

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    SN 2023vjh is an unusually faint 91bg-like SN Ia whose light curves and colors suggest possible CSM extinction despite minimal host interstellar dust signatures.

  3. Modeling the probability distribution for cosmological analysis with photometrically classified samples

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A simplified likelihood treating photometric contamination as a redshift-dependent Gaussian mean shift is strongly favored by Bayes factor over the BEAMS two-component model and improves cosmological constraints on th...
