The rate of cosmic thermonuclear explosions in the Local Universe
This thesis investigates the volumetric rates of thermonuclear supernovae (SNe) in the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). SN rates are a measure of how frequently stellar explosions occur as a function of cosmological volumes, or host galaxy properties. SNe are powerful cosmological probes; understand...
