abstract

We present the full Hubble diagram of photometrically-classified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey supernova program (DES-SN). DES-SN discovered more than 20,000 SN candidates and obtained spectroscopic redshifts of 7,000 host galaxies. Based on the light-curve quality, we select 1635 photometrically-identified SNe Ia with spectroscopic redshift 0.10$< z <$1.13, which is the largest sample of supernovae from any single survey and increases the number of known $z>0.5$ supernovae by a factor of five. In a companion paper, we present cosmological results of the DES-SN sample combined with 194 spectroscopically-classified SNe Ia at low redshift as an anchor for cosmological fits. Here we present extensive modeling of this combined sample and validate the entire analysis pipeline used to derive distances. We show that the statistical and systematic uncertainties on cosmological parameters are $\sigma_{\Omega_M,{\rm stat+sys}}^{\Lambda{\rm CDM}}=$0.017 in a flat $\Lambda$CDM model, and $(\sigma_{\Omega_M},\sigma_w)_{\rm stat+sys}^{w{\rm CDM}}=$(0.082, 0.152) in a flat $w$CDM model. Combining the DES SN data with the highly complementary CMB measurements by Planck Collaboration (2020) reduces uncertainties on cosmological parameters by a factor of 4. In all cases, statistical uncertainties dominate over systematics. We show that uncertainties due to photometric classification make up less than 10% of the total systematic uncertainty budget. This result sets the stage for the next generation of SN cosmology surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

  1. A Simulation Based Inference Approach to Modelling of Type Ia Supernova Populations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A simulation-based inference pipeline (Stjörnumál) fits SN Ia dust and intrinsic scatter models to DES 5-year data, enabling fast Bayesian model comparison across seven SN Ia population models.

  2. Chromatic Effects Across the Roman Focal Plane: Implications for Supernova Photometry and Measurements of Cosmological Parameters

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    FPA-dependent chromatic shifts of +6 to -80 Å bias Roman SN Ia cosmology to Δw0≈-0.06 and Δwa≈0.24 unless corrected to ~20% accuracy; coherent 0.06% shifts are negligible.

  3. The Hourglass Simulation: A Catalog for the Roman High-Latitude Time-Domain Core Community Survey

    astro-ph.IM 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hourglass simulates the Roman High-Latitude Time-Domain survey catalog, forecasting about 21,700 Type Ia supernovae, 39,000 core-collapse supernovae, and 64,000 total transients with photometry and prism spectra.

  4. ZTF SN Ia DR2: Improved SN Ia colors through expanded dimensionality with SALT3+

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An expanded SALT3+ light-curve model with a second intrinsic parameter x2 reveals coherent color and spectral variability in Type Ia supernovae, improving color precision but not altering current cosmology.

  5. Is Dark Energy an Effective Manifestation of Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics? -- Insights from DESI

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two phenomenological dark matter creation rates can reproduce the accelerated expansion of the universe and fit current background data as well as or slightly better than LambdaCDM for some DESI-based data combinations.

  6. Late Time Dynamical Dark Energy and the CMB-Distance Ladder Tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The SNIa absolute-magnitude tension between the distance ladder (−19.204) and CMB+ΛCDM (−19.430) is independent of late-time expansion history, and DESI's w0–wa dark-energy hints shift H0 by only ~0.3–0.4 km/s/Mpc.

  7. Supernova Classification using the Recurrent Neural Network in the CSST Ultra-Deep Field Survey

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In mock CSST-UDF data, an LSTM classifier plus JLA-like cuts yields a >99.5% pure Type Ia sample and recovers Ω_M and w to 14% and 18% in a flat wCDM model.

  8. An overview of what current data can (and cannot yet) say about evolving dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The apparent preference for evolving dark energy depends strongly on which supernova catalog and which BAO survey are used, and is not robust across all independent data combinations.

  9. Bayesian and Machine-Learning Analyses of Nonminimal $f(Q)$ Gravity and $H_0$ Tension

    gr-qc 2025-11 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A nonminimal f(Q) gravity model fitted to CC, DESI BAO and three supernova samples gives H0 ≈ 68 km/s/Mpc, similar to ΛCDM, and is disfavored by BIC.
