中文摘要 | A sample of 109 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with recession velocity lsim 30,000 km s/sup -1/ is compiled from published SN Ia light curves to explore the expansion rate of the local Universe. Based on the color parameter Delta C/sub 12/ and the decline rate Delta m/sub 15/, we found that the average absorption-to-reddening ratios for SN Ia host galaxies are R/sub UBVI/ = 4.37 +/- 0.25, 3.33 +/- 0.11, 2.30 +/- 0.11, and 1.18 +/- 0.11, which are systematically lower than the standard values in the Galaxy. We investigated the correlations of the intrinsic luminosity with light-curve decline rate, color index, and SN environmental parameters. In particular, we found that SNe Ia in E/S0 galaxies close to the central region are brighter than those in the outer region, which may suggest a possible metallicity effect on SN luminosity. The dependence of SN luminosity on galactic environment disappears after corrections for the extinction and Delta C/sub 12/. The Hubble diagrams constructed using 73 Hubble flow SNe Ia yield a 1 sigma scatter of lsim 0.12 mag in BVI bands and ~0.16 mag in U band. The luminosity difference between normal SNe Ia and peculiar objects (including SN 1991bg-like and SN 1991T-like events) has now been reduced to within 0.15 mag via Delta C/sub 12/ correction. We use the same precepts to correct the nearby SNe Ia with Cepheid distances and found that the fully corrected absolute magnitudes of SNe Ia are M/sub B/ = -19.33 +/- 0.06 and M/sub V/ = -19.27 +/- 0.05. We deduced a value for the Hubble constant of H/sub 0/ = 12 +/- 6 (total) km s/sup -1/ Mpc/sup -1/. |
