Last column is E(B-V), yes.
What do you mean when you say the residual of the ridgeline of points is
missing? What is the diagnostic that you're using?
Of the HST SNe in the paper, when the reddest ones are thrown out (92ag
and 93ag), the vairance weighted mean E(B-V) (based now on lightcurve
fits) comes out at -0.004+-0.004. If the line moves any to the redder,
we will have the "too blue Hamuy" supernovae problem again.
I've attached a plot of E(B-V) vs. s. Again, these E(B-V) are the
results of the snminuit fits, and thus not exactly the same thing as the
numbers from b-v_snelist.lis (which is the E(B-V) value at the given day
from the color curve, not from any sort of lightcurve). The ellipticals
(the ones from the list you sent me) are the black points. This
distribution looks pretty good to me.
