Scientific paper

Two galaxies with observed type Ia supernovae have been identified in each of three Lyon groups of galaxies not associated with the Virgo cluster. The difference of well-determined apparent magnitudes at light-curve maximum of the supernovae in each group is delta B less than or equal to 0.2 mag. delta V less than or equal to 0.2 mag. Previously, Branch and Tammann found that the observed apparent magnitudes at maximum light for type Ia supernovae in three galaxies, each with two observed supernovae, are nearly identical. The consistency of these two independent results further suggests that the set of all type Ia supernovae contains a large subset of 'standard candles.'
