Lick Observatory Supernova Search

(LOSS)
(search for supernovae for cosmological study)

The Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) was carried out on the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) beginning in 1998. The goal was measurement of Hubble parameter over time using observations of Type Ia supernovae. The LOSS effort has since combined forces with Tenagra Observatory to form the Lick Observatory and Tenagra Observatory Supernova Searches (LOTOSS).
