Scientific paper

Recently, Hamuy & Pinto (2002) proposed a correlation between the expansion velocity and luminosity of Type II-Plateau Supernovae (SNe II-P). This correlation makes SNe II-P candidates for use as standard candles. As part of the Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP), we have obtained an independent sample of SNe II-P at modest redshift (z 0.001-0.04), and here present preliminary distance results based on the Hamuy & Pinto relation.
