We present J-band light curves of seven Type Ia supernovæ located at redshifts of approximately 0.5. These supernovæ were observed during the High-z Supernova Search Team's autumn 2000 campaign. At this redshift the observed J-band light curve approximately corresponds to the rest-frame I band, so a direct comparison can be made between local and high-redshift Type Ia supernovæ at wavelengths where the effects of interstellar extinction are small. The goal of this study is to compare Type Ia supernovæ at z ≈ 0 and z ≈ 0.5 in order to identify possible systematic differences that could cloud our understanding of the acceleration of the Universe. S.T.H. and P.M.G acknowledge support from NASA Long-Term Space Astrophysics grand NAG 5-9364.
