High-Redshift SNe with Subaru and HST

Seattle, Washington State Convention Center, 6–10 January 2019
High-redshift type Ia supernovae are crucial for constraining any time variation in dark energy. Here, we present the first discoveries and light curves from the SUbaru Supernovae with Hubble Infrared (SUSHI) program, which combines high-redshift SN discoveries from the Subaru Strategic Program (SSP, as well as other Subaru time) with HST WFC3 IR followup. This program efficiently uses the wide field and high collecting area of Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam for optical light curves, but still obtains a precision NIR color. We are on track to double the number of well-measured SNe Ia at z > 1.1, triggering on 23 SNe Ia in our first season.
