Description
Supernova (SN) SN H0pe is a gravitationally lensed, triply imaged, Type Ia SN (SN Ia) discovered in James Webb Space Telescope imaging of the PLCK G165.7+67.0 cluster of galaxies. Well-observed multiply imaged SNe provide a rare opportunity to constrain the Hubble constant (H 0), by measuring the relative time delay between the images and modeling the foreground mass distribution. SN H0pe is located at z = 1.783 and is the first SN Ia with sufficient light-curve sampling and long enough time delays for an H 0 inference. Here we present photometric time-delay measurements and SN properties of SN H0pe. Using JWST/NIRCam photometry, we measure time delays of Δt ab = $-{116.6}_{-9.3}^{+10.8}$ observer-frame days and Δt cb = $-{48.6}_{-4.0}^{+3.6}$ observer-frame days relative to the last image to arrive (image 2b; all uncertainties are 1σ), which corresponds to a ∼5.6% uncertainty contribution for H 0 assuming 70 km s‑1 Mpc‑1. We also constrain the absolute magnification of each image to μ a = ${4.3}_{-1.8}^{+1.6}$ , μ b = ${7.6}_{-2.6}^{+3.6}$ , μ c = ${6.4}_{-1.5}^{+1.6}$ by comparing the observed peak near-IR magnitude of SN H0pe to the nonlensed population of SNe Ia.
