Dependencies of SDSS Supernova Ia rates on their host galaxy properties

Studying how SN Ia rates (SNR) correlate with host galaxy properties is an important step in understanding the exact nature of SN Ia. Taking a sample of SNe and galaxies from the SDSS, we obtain the optimum parameter values for the A+B model for SNR, which states that SNR scale linearly with mass an...
