Explosions in the sky : the physics of Type Ia Supernovae from large astrophysical datasets
This thesis studies type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use this large, high-quality imaging and spectroscopic dataset to analyse the very earliest part of the SN Ia light curve, probing the ejecta structure, the postmaximum light curve, the 56Ni distrib...
