The SDSS Supernova Survey: Results and Prospects
Saurabh Jha (Rutgers University)

In three seasons, the SDSS SN survey has discovered about 500 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernovae with 0.1 < z < 0.4. This redshift range has been only sparsely sampled in the past, despite the importance of connecting the nearby SN samples with those obtained at higher redshifts. We present cosmological results from the first year SDSS SN sample, including constraints on the dark energy equation of state, as well as analysis of supernova rates, intrinsic supernova and host properties, and progenitor studies. We also describe prospects for science with the full SDSS SN survey.
