Scientific paper

The Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory) is an experiment designed to collect a large sample (300 or more) of low redshift (0.03 ≤ z ≤ 0.08) Type la supernovae, each followed up by 10-15 spectro-photometry (320-1000 nm) observations spaced at roughly 3 day intervals, and started ˜ 10 days before the maximum light. The goal of this experiment is to anchor the supernova Hubble diagram at low redshift and to provide a large sample of well studied SN Ia to determine those properties of SNe Ia affecting their use for cosmology. The status of the SNfactory experiment will be presented, including informations on the first spectro-photometric data collected by SNIFS, the dedicated Integral Field Unit (IFU) for SNe observation.
