Flux Ratios

Caption

The warm colors in this diagram stand for strong correlations of the brightness ratios between two wavelengths and a Type Ia supernova's absolute magnitude. (Diagram colors are unrelated to those in the spectrum itself.) Wavelengths are in nanometers. The upper left triangle shows correlations with uncorrected magnitudes; at lower right are correlations using color-corrected data.
