Abstract
SNLS combines photometry from the deep component of the CFHT-LS (Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy survey) with extensive spectroscopic follow-up from the Keck, Very Large Telescope (VLT), and Gemini telescopes to determine SN types and measure redshifts. The photometry is carried out with MegaCam, a 1deg2 imager at the prime focus of CFHT. We use the natural systems of the SNLS, HST, SDSS, Hicken et al. (2009ApJ...700..331H), and Contreras et al. (2010AJ....139..519C) samples in our analysis, which together account for ~90% of our sample. (1 data file).
