| dcterms.abstract | Observational cosmology directly benefits from the advancement of time-domain astronomy, primarily through the massively increased rate of Type Ia supernovae discovered by high-cadence all-sky surveys. I have developed essential infrastructure for coupling numerous streams of data to derive additional scientific utility through synergy. My work consolidates observational, theoretical, and computational elements in a project called Hawai`i Supernova Flows. The project's science goal is to map the structure of matter in the local (z<0.1) Universe. The objectives required to achieve this goal include measuring precise distances to as many Type Ia supernovae as possible, using those values to calculate peculiar velocities, and inferring the distribution of mass needed to produce those velocities. In this work I review the physical mechanisms connecting Type Ia supernovae to the study of the Universe, describe the methodology I employ in Hawai`i Supernova Flows, and present early scientific results. | |
