Hi Rob,
I've marked up the attached pdf with corrections (mostly wording and typos).
Here are some more general comments:
2.1
should we say more about the discovery - e.g. were the SNe premax?
How good is Ia Identfication - need to say some the basis of this, maybe
cite elsewhere.
It would good to give a brief description of the relevant aspects of
WFPC before PSF fitting - e.g pixel size
what is x0, y0 in PSF fit
Table 1: SN 9878 - not in IAU?
2.2
Need to show at least some lightcurves
Need to show goodness of fit in tables. show fit in lightcurve plot
2.3
I know you iterate, but it seems like this should come BEFORE the
lightcurve fit. Or, before 2.2, give some overview saying this will be
discussed in the following section.
colors - is there any information from the ground colors - do we have them?
intrisic colors - is this consistent with Serena's paper (I haven't read
that yet)
3.1
Can you say briefly at the outset what the difference in procedure is
w.r.t. P99?
"Fit 3" is mysterious when first mentioned
Fig 2 - the one high point seems consistent with the curve - why do you
later exclude it? should quote sigma or probability if it really unlikely
I had to read this section twice to see what the conclusion was
(consistency of mean E(B-V) - maybe restate it at the end?
3.2
in caption, say what the top/bottom panels are. Top panel is a blur of
points - not useful. bottom: hard to see the new data - maybe show then
first ALONE, then with other data
fig 6 - figures say "10 SNe", caption says "11". I assume the figure is wrong.
4.
the introductory part (ie. before 4.1) is just discussion and kind of
weak - and doesn't seem like it belongs in a results paper. Is there
any analysis here? I think it should be in a review talk, not here. The
only issue is Omega_M =0.12 - this low value merits more discussion.
general: no dash in WFPC2
