			<abstract><ab><![CDATA[<title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>We present the volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the V-band All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) catalogues spanning discovery dates from UTC 2014 January 26 to UTC 2017 December 29. Our standard sample consists of 404 SNe Ia with $m_{\mathrm{{\it V},peak}} \lt 17\, \mathrm{mag}$ and Galactic latitude |b| &gt; 15°. Our results are both statistically more precise and systematically more robust than previous studies due to the large sample size and high spectroscopic completeness. We make completeness corrections based on both the apparent and absolute magnitudes by simulating the detection of SNe Ia in ASAS-SN light curves. We find a total volumetric rate for all subtypes of $R_{\mathrm{tot}} = 2.28^{+0.20}_{-0.20} \times 10^{4}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\, h^{3}_{70}$ for $M_{\mathrm{{\it V},peak}} \lt -16.5\, \mathrm{mag}$ ($R_{\mathrm{tot}} = 1.91^{+0.12}_{-0.12} \times 10^{4}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\, h^{3}_{70}$ for $M_{\mathrm{{\it V},peak}} \lt -17.5\, \mathrm{mag}$) at the median redshift of our sample, zmed= 0.024. This is in agreement (1σ) with the local volumetric rates found by previous studies. We also compile LFs for the entire sample as well as for subtypes of SNe Ia for the first time. The major subtypes with more than one SN include Ia-91bg, Ia-91T, Ia-CSM, and Ia-03fg with total rates of $R_{\mathrm{Ia-91bg}} = 1.4^{+0.5}_{-0.5} \times 10^{3}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\, h^{3}_{70}$, $R_{\mathrm{Ia-91T}} = 8.5^{+1.6}_{-1.7} \times 10^{2}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\, h^{3}_{70}$, $R_{\mathrm{Ia-CSM}} = 10^{+7}_{-7}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\, h^{3}_{70}$, and $R_{\mathrm{Ia-03fg}} = 30^{+20}_{-20}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\, h^{3}_{70}$, respectively. We estimate a mean host extinction of $E(V-r) \approx 0.2\, \mathrm{mag}$ based on the shift between our V band and the Zwicky Transient Facility r-band LFs.</p>]]></ab></abstract>

Most observational studies disfa v our the SD scenario for the majority of SNe (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Nugent et al. 2011 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Chomiuk et al. 2012 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Shappee et al. 2013</ref><ref type="bibr">Shappee et al. , 2018 ; ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Tucker et al. 2022b</ref> ).

These include the o v erluminous 91T-like SNe Ia (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Phillips et al. 1992 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Filippenko et al. 1992b )</ref>; the subluminous 91bg-like SNe Ia (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Filippenko et al. 1992a ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Leibundgut et al. 1993 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Turatto et al. 1996 )</ref>; 03fg-like SNe Ia, which are brighter in the near-infrared and have MNRAS 530, <ref type="bibr">5016-5029 (2024)</ref> long rise times (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Howell et al. 2006 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Hicken et al. 2007 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Hsiao et al. 2020 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Ashall et al. 2021 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Jiang et al. 2021 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Lu et al. 2021</ref> ); 02cx-like SNe Ia, which show light curves that are both broad and faint (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Li et al. 2003 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">F ole y et al. 2013 )</ref>; the sub-luminous 02eslike SNe Ia, with the broad, slowly declining light curves seen in o v erluminous SNe Ia, yet lacking a prominent secondary maximum in the i band as seen in subluminous SNe Ia (e.g. F ole y et al. 2010 ; <ref type="bibr">Ganeshalingam et al. 2012 )</ref>. There are still additional transitional subtypes (for a re vie w of subtypes, see <ref type="bibr">Taubenberger 2017 )</ref>.</p><p>Different progenitor scenarios operate o v er a wide range of timescales, ranging from &#8764;100 Myr to the Hubble time. The rate as a function of the time span &#964; between a burst of star formation and the resulting SNe Ia is known as the delay-time distribution (DTD). Measurements of the DTD of SNe Ia <ref type="bibr">(Maoz &amp; Mannucci 2012 )</ref> can be used to constrain progenitor models and the convolution of the DTD with the cosmic star formation history gives the redshift evolution of SN Ia rate. Most DD models predict that the DTD is a &#8764;&#964; -1 power law (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Ruiter, Belczynski &amp; Fryer 2009 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Horiuchi &amp; Beacom 2010 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Mennekens et al. 2010 )</ref> for longer delay times and observations of SN Ia rates are broadly consistent with such a model (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Scannapieco &amp; Bildsten 2005 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Maoz, Mannucci &amp; Brandt 2012 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Graur &amp; Maoz 2013 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Graur et al. 2014</ref> ). Ho we ver, the SD scenario predicts a broad range of DTDs which fail to account for long delay times (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Graur et al. 2014 )</ref>.</p><p>The shorter delay times are attributed to 91T-like SNe Ia, which are predominantly found in late-type, star-forming galaxies <ref type="bibr">(Howell 2001 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Li et al. 2011b )</ref> and are therefore likely associated with young stellar populations. The longer delay times are associated with 91bglike SNe Ia, which are mostly found in massive early-type galaxies with star-formation rates below &#8764; 10 -9 M yr -1 <ref type="bibr">(Howell 2001 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Neill et al. 2009 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Gonz &#225;lez-Gait &#225;n et al. 2011 )</ref>. Similar to their 91bg-like cousins, 02es-like ev ents hav e a tendenc y to preferentially, but not e xclusiv ely, e xplode in massive, early-type host galaxies <ref type="bibr">(White et al. 2015 )</ref>. To better understand the diversity in the subtypes of SNe Ia and their contribution to the DTD, we must understand the rates of the SNe Ia subtypes.</p><p>Large surv e ys hav e made it possible to obtain SN rate measurements and luminosity functions (LFs) to constrain the DTD and probe SNe Ia physics. Surv e ys such as the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS; <ref type="bibr">Li et al. 2000 )</ref>, the Palomar Transient F actory <ref type="bibr">(PTF;</ref><ref type="bibr">La w et al. 2009 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Rau et al. 2009 )</ref>, the Sloan Digital Sk y Surv e y (SDSS)-II Superno va Surv e y <ref type="bibr">(Frieman et al. 2008 )</ref>, the P anoramic Surv e y Telescope &amp; Rapid Response System <ref type="bibr">(Chambers et al. 2016 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Flewelling et al. 2020 )</ref>, the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN; <ref type="bibr">Shappee et al. 2014 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Kochanek et al. 2017</ref> ), the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS; <ref type="bibr">Tonry et al. 2018 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Smith et al. 2020 )</ref>, and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF; <ref type="bibr">Bellm et al. 2019 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Masci et al. 2019</ref> ) hav e disco v ered thousands of SNe. Hundreds of these SNe are spectroscopically classified (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Smartt et al. 2015 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Tucker et al. 2022a )</ref>, especially the more local ones.</p><p>From these and other samples, volumetric rates of normal Type Ia SNe have been measured o v er a wide range of redshifts. Local ( z &lt; 0.1) rates were measured by <ref type="bibr">Cappellaro, Evans &amp; Turatto ( 1999 )</ref> using 70 SNe Ia from heterogeneous sources, by <ref type="bibr">Li et al. ( 2011b )</ref> using 274 SNe Ia from LOSS, by <ref type="bibr">Frohmaier et al. ( 2019 )</ref> using 90 SNe Ia from PTF, by <ref type="bibr">Perley et al. ( 2020 )</ref> using 875 SNe from the ZTF Bright Transient Surv e y (BTS) sample, and by Sharon &amp; Kushnir ( 2022 ) using a lower redshift volume-limited subset of 298 SNe from the ZTF sample. The PTF and the ZTF BTS samples have the highest spectroscopic completeness (93 per cent) among the previous studies. They all agree at the &#8764;1 &#963; level. At higher redshifts, <ref type="bibr">Dilday et al. ( 2010 )</ref> measured SN Ia rates within z &lt; 0.3 using 270 spectroscopically classified SNe Ia from SDSS-II SN surv e y and <ref type="bibr">Perrett et al. ( 2012 )</ref> measured the rates up to z &#8764; 1.1 using 286 spectroscopically classified SNe Ia from the SuperNova Legacy Surv e y (SNLS). Other studies include the Institute for Astronomy Deep Surv e y in the redshift range 0.1 &lt; z &lt; 1.05 <ref type="bibr">(Rodney &amp; Tonry 2010</ref> ) and the Subaru Deep Field out to z &#8764; 2 <ref type="bibr">(Graur et al. 2011 )</ref>. These observed SN rates have been used to compare different DTD models and show that a &#8764;&#964; -1 DTD successfully describes the observed rates (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Horiuchi &amp; Beacom 2010 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Maoz, Mannucci &amp; Brandt 2012 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Graur et al. 2014 )</ref>.</p><p>The creation of ASAS-SN was largely moti v ated by the incompleteness of the local census of supernovae. Prior to that, discoveries were dominated by amateurs, fa v oured large galaxies, and showed year-to-year fluctuations that were too large to be random. In <ref type="bibr">Holoien et al. ( 2017a</ref><ref type="bibr">Holoien et al. ( , b , c , 2019 ) )</ref>, ASAS-SN catalogued the supernovae found in its first five years <ref type="bibr">(2013)</ref><ref type="bibr">(2014)</ref><ref type="bibr">(2015)</ref><ref type="bibr">(2016)</ref><ref type="bibr">(2017)</ref>. This sample includes 704 Type Ia SNe with 97 per cent spectroscopically classified. The limiting magnitude of ASAS-SN in the V band ( &#8764;17 mag) made spectroscopic follow-up possible without the use of large telescopes, leading to high spectroscopic completeness. In addition to confirming the bias of the amateurs towards luminous hosts, <ref type="bibr">Holoien et al. ( 2017a</ref><ref type="bibr">Holoien et al. ( , b , c , 2019 ) )</ref> found that both amateur and other professional surv e ys were strongly biased against finding SNe close to the centres of galaxies. The median radial offset of the 2013-2017 ASAS-SN sample was 2 . 4 kpc compared to 5 . 7 and 4 . 5 kpc for the amateur and other professional surv e ys, respectiv ely.</p><p>The first statistical SNe Ia study with ASAS-SN <ref type="bibr">(Brown et al. 2019</ref> ) extended the finding by <ref type="bibr">Li et al. ( 2011a )</ref> that the specific SNe Ia rate increases for lower mass galaxies from &#8764;3 decades in mass to &#8764;6 (6.3 &#8804; log ( M * /M ) &#8804; 12.3). <ref type="bibr">Brown et al. ( 2019 )</ref> found that the rate per unit stellar mass M * scales roughly as M -1 / 2 * for the <ref type="bibr">Bell et al. ( 2003 )</ref> stellar mass function ( M -1 / 3 * for the <ref type="bibr">Baldry et al. 2012</ref> stellar mass function, see <ref type="bibr">Gandhi et al. 2022 )</ref>. For the <ref type="bibr">Li et al. ( 2011a )</ref> mass range, this could be explained by lower mass galaxies having younger stellar populations <ref type="bibr">(Graur &amp; Maoz 2013 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Kistler et al. 2013 )</ref>, but this solution does not work for even lower masses. Using Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) cosmological zoom-in simulations, <ref type="bibr">Gandhi et al. ( 2022 )</ref> found that including an SN Ia rate that increases with decreasing metallicity ( Z -0.5 to Z -1 ) significantly impro v es agreement with observations. Johnson, <ref type="bibr">Kochanek &amp; Stanek ( 2022 )</ref> then used simple numerical calculations using mean star formation histories from the UniverseMachine <ref type="bibr">(Behroozi et al. 2019</ref> ), a &#964; -1 SN Ia DTD (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Maoz &amp; Mannucci 2012 )</ref>, and the massmetallicity relation for galaxies (e.g. <ref type="bibr">Tremonti et al. 2004 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Zahid, K e wley &amp; Bresolin 2011 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Andrews &amp; Martini 2013 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Zahid et al. 2014 )</ref> and found that an &#8764;Z -0.5 scaling is required. Specifically, <ref type="bibr">Johnson, Kochanek &amp; Stanek ( 2022 )</ref> found that the combination of younger ages and lower metallicities for lower-mass galaxies can explain the scaling over the full mass range of <ref type="bibr">Brown et al. ( 2019 )</ref>. Both <ref type="bibr">Gandhi et al. ( 2022 )</ref> and <ref type="bibr">Johnson, Kochanek &amp; Stanek ( 2022 )</ref> proposed that a likely explanation for the SN rate-metallicity trend is the rapid rise in the binary fraction to wards lo wer metallicity <ref type="bibr">(Badenes et al. 2018 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Moe, Kratter &amp; Badenes 2019 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Wyse, Moe &amp; Kratter 2020 )</ref>.</p><p>In this study, we use Type Ia SNe from the ASAS-SN catalogues to measure the local volumetric rate and LF of Type Ia SNe, including, for the first time, LFs for several major spectroscopic sub-types. In Section 2 , we describe the supernova sample and refit the data to update the peak apparent magnitudes in ASAS-SN. In Section 3 , we outline our approach to making completeness corrections using simulations and the method for calculating the rates. In Section 4 , MNRAS 530, <ref type="bibr">5016-5029 (2024)</ref> we present our local volumetric rates and LFs for Type Ia SNe and several spectroscopic subtypes and compare them to earlier results. We also provide the LFs corrected assuming various global values of the host-galaxy extinction. Finally, in Section 5 , we summarize the results and discuss future projects. Throughout this paper we adopt a flat Lambda cold dark matter cosmology with a Hubble constant H 0 = 70 km s -1 Mpc -1 and a matter density m,0 = 0.3.</p></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><head n="2">T H E S U P E R N OVA S A M P L E</head><p>We use the Type Ia supernova sample of 704 SNe Ia from the V -band ASAS-SN Bright Supernova Catalogues <ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. 2017a</ref><ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. , b , c , 2019 ) )</ref> spanning disco v ery dates from UTC 2014 January 26 to UTC 2017 December 29. We perform our analysis on the 578 SNe Ia disco v ered or reco v ered in ASAS-SN. SNe disco v ered in the g band but never recovered in the V band are excluded from the analysis.</p><p>The ASAS-SN catalogues defined the peak magnitude of a supernova by taking the brighter value between the brightest point in the light curve and the peak of a parabolic fit to magnitudes. Ho we ver, we found that this method systematically biases the peak magnitudes to be too bright since random fluctuations often make the brightest point brighter than the peak of a fit. This is primarily a problem for the faintest SNe in the catalogue and, unfortunately, most SNe are faint, with the median peak magnitude being 16.4 mag.</p><p>To obtain more accurate values for the peak magnitudes, we refit all ASAS-SN light curves in flux instead of magnitude using the Vband SN Ia templates from <ref type="bibr">Nugent, Kim &amp; Perlmutter ( 2002 )</ref>. Using the templates, varying the stretch in time, time of peak, and peak magnitude, and using the fluxes instead of magnitudes leads to more robust fits for fainter SNe. The median peak magnitude of our new fits is 0 . 3 mag fainter than for the original approach. Unfortunately, the stretch is generally poorly constrained from the ASAS-SN light curves alone, as the fainter SNe are too noisy. In Table <ref type="table">1</ref> , we report the updated peak magnitudes for all SNe Ia with ASAS-SN V -band light curv es. We e xperimented with the Spectral Adaptive Light Curve Template (SALT2; <ref type="bibr">Guy et al. 2007 )</ref> templates and found consistent estimates of the peak magnitudes.</p><p>Fig. <ref type="figure">1</ref> shows a few examples of the light-curve fits. Fig. <ref type="figure">1</ref> (a) and (d) demonstrate the ability to fit one of the brightest (ASASSN-15hx) and one of the faintest (ASASSN-16jw) SNe in the sample. ASASSN-15lp, which only has a declining light curve (Fig. <ref type="figure">1 b</ref>), would have had obvious issues for the peak magnitude based on either the brightest point or a parabolic fit near the peak. Ho we ver, the templates encapsulate the shape of the decline and thus are able to predict the peak magnitude reasonably well. In the case of SN 2017fax (Fig. <ref type="figure">1 c</ref>), with only two points near peak, a parabolic fit is poorly constrained, whereas the templates co v er a larger time range leading to a better o v erall fit and peak magnitude.</p><p>We compute absolute magnitudes for all SNe using</p><p>where m V is the V -band apparent magnitude, &#956;( z) is the distance modulus as a function of redshift obtained using the Python package ASTROPY.COSMOLOGY <ref type="bibr">(Astropy Collaboration 2013</ref><ref type="bibr">, 2018 )</ref>, A V ,MW is the Milky Way extinction assuming a 7000 K source and R V = 3.1 from table 6 of <ref type="bibr">Schlafly &amp; Finkbeiner ( 2011 )</ref>, and K ( z) is the Kcorrection <ref type="bibr">(Hogg et al. 2002 )</ref> as a function of redshift computed with SNOOPY <ref type="bibr">(Burns et al. 2011 )</ref>, which uses the SN Ia templates from <ref type="bibr">Hsiao et al. ( 2007 )</ref>. We include no correction for the host-galaxy extinction here but explore its effects in Section 4.3 . We explore the statistics of the 578 SNe Ia discovered or recovered by ASAS-SN in the V band <ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. 2017a</ref><ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. , b , c , 2019 ) )</ref> whose distribution in m V ,peak and redshift is shown in Fig. <ref type="figure">2</ref> . The black line in the top histogram of Fig. <ref type="figure">2</ref> displays the cosmic rate assuming a uniform distribution of SNe in comoving volume. It shows that the subsample with M V, peak 17 . 5 mag (which constitutes the majority of the sample) is volume-limited up to a redshift of z &#8764; 0.02 and magnitude-limited beyond that. This sample does not include the 13 SNe disco v ered in 2013 due to the high incompleteness of the surv e y and systematic errors during the early operations of ASAS-SN. We restrict our standard analysis to SNe more luminous than M V, peak &lt; -16 . 5 mag , which reduces the sample to 574 SNe. For our standard analysis we use a limiting Galactic latitude at | b | &gt; 15 &#8226; , which leaves 541 SNe, and a limiting peak apparent magnitude at m V, peak &lt; 17 mag , where our completeness is &#8764; 50 per cent (see Section 3 ). These limits exclude the two SNe Iax from our standard sample; SN 2015H because we found a peak magnitude &gt; 17 mag and SN 2017gbb because it was not reco v ered by ASAS-SN. Finally, we restrict the redshift range to be from z min = 0.005, to eliminate systems where peculiar velocities can significantly affect distance estimates, to z max = 0.08, which includes all systems. This leaves us with 404 SNe in our standard sample, where the reduced number is almost entirely due to the magnitude limit. We explore the consequences of varying these limits in Section 4.1 .</p><p>We update the subtype classification of three SNe in our standard sample to be consistent with the classification scheme of <ref type="bibr">Taubenberger ( 2017 )</ref>. ASASSN-15us was classified as Ia-06bt by <ref type="bibr">Holoien et al. ( 2017b )</ref>, which falls under the broader class of Ia-02es. ASASSN-15hy and ASASSN-16ex were classified as Ia-07if and Ia-09dc, respectively, both of which fall under the broader class of Ia-03fg <ref type="bibr">(Ashall et al. 2021 )</ref>.</p></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><head n="3">R A T E C O M P U TA T I O N S</head><p>Magnitude-limited surv e ys like ASAS-SN must correct the observed sample for the probability of detecting the SNe. Incompleteness is driven by the survey cadence, seasonal gaps, surv e y magnitude limit, and observing conditions. As in previous studies, we use simulations to estimate the completeness corrections as a function of peak apparent and absolute magnitudes.</p><p>Based on all ASAS-SN observations of supernovae (discovered, reco v ered, and missed), we found that we could describe well the probability of a detection ( p ) in any given epoch as a simple function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the observation</p><p>(2)</p><p>There was no apparent dependence on other variables. The saturation at p = 0.65 is due to a broad range of systematic problems associated with how the o v erall processing system tries to minimize the number of false positi ves. Ho we ver, this is a probability per observation, and with a V -band cadence of 3-4 d, the probability of actually missing a bright SN is very low. It is likely that equation ( <ref type="formula">2</ref>) is underestimating p for bright SNe, but this also has no important consequences since bright SNe will have many detection trials ( n ) and the o v erall probability of detection 1 -(1p ) n converges rapidly to unity. For example, if n = 5, the probability of detection is 99.5 per cent for p = 0.65 versus 100.0 per cent for p = 0.95. Using equation ( <ref type="formula">2</ref>), we perform injection reco v ery simulations on the ASAS-SN light curves. We obtain the ASAS-SN V -band light curves for random positions uniformly distributed on the sky with a mean density of four points per square degree. These light curves include the magnitudes, fluxes, and their uncertainties for each epoch  <ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. 2017a</ref><ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. , b , c , 2019 ) )</ref> with updated peak apparent magnitudes m V ,peak and peak absolute magnitudes M V ,peak . This table is available in its entirety in a machine-readable form in the online journal. A portion is shown here for guidance regarding its form and content.</p><p>a Peak apparent magnitudes reported here are the values after refitting the ASAS-SN light curves using the V -band SN Ia templates from <ref type="bibr">Nugent, Kim &amp; Perlmutter ( 2002 )</ref>.</p><p>b Peak absolute magnitudes are computed using m V , peak and equation ( <ref type="formula">1</ref>).  and consequently include the surv e y cadence and seasonal gaps. Next, we inject simulated Type Ia SNe on to the light curves using the V -band templates from <ref type="bibr">Nugent, Kim &amp; Perlmutter ( 2002 )</ref> and ask which ones would be detected. We use the same magnitude and Galactic latitude limits as for the observed SN sample in Section 2 . For bright SNe in bright galaxies, the presence of the galaxy will affect the SNR, but the SNR is so high that neglecting the host does not matter for the detection probability. For faint SNe, the noise is dominated by the sky, so the presence of the host flux has little effect on the detection probability. Any systematic errors created by host MNRAS 530, 5016-5029 (2024) galaxies will only become important once the statistical errors are smaller.</p><p>The time of peak t 0 for each simulated SN is drawn randomly from a uniform distribution o v er the time span co v ering the disco v ery dates of all SNe with a padding of 15 d on both ends. The redshift z is drawn randomly assuming our standard cosmology and a constant comoving density with a maximum redshift of z lim where the SN would have the limiting magnitude of m V, peak = 17 . 0 mag given no extinction.

The templates are further stretched in time by a factor of (1 + z) to account for the cosmological time dilation.</p><p>To account for the measurement uncertainty for the simulated SN light curve, we approximate the noise by adding a Gaussian deviate of dispersion</p><p>where F is the flux for a given simulated point, g is the gain for the camera used for observation at that epoch, and F 0 = Z 0 10 -m 0 / 2 . 5 , where Z 0 and m 0 are the flux and magnitude zero-points, respectively. We carry out 100 random trials for each of the N LC = 164, 191 random light curves, for a total of M = 100 N LC trial SNe. This is done for each peak luminosity o v er the range -21 mag &#8804; M V, peak &#8804; -16 . 5 mag in intervals of 0 . 5 mag . For each of these simulated SN, we use the K -correction and distance modulus appropriate to the random redshift, add the Galactic extinction correction associated with the light curve coordinates, and then add the flux of the SN to the random ASAS-SN light curve. The trial is logged as a detection if at least one epoch of the simulated SN satisfies the SNR criterion in equation ( <ref type="formula">2</ref>).</p><p>The result from applying the detection model of equation ( 2 ) to our simulated sample is shown as the dashed purple line in Fig. <ref type="figure">3</ref> and it predicts the observed magnitude distribution of the sample very well despite having made no use of this information. The model shown here is normalized to the total number of SNe in the observed sample. The simulated sample of SNe not only reproduces the bright end of the observed distrib ution, b ut also well models the turno v er at the faint end ( m V, peak 16 . 5 mag ).</p><p>Next, we compute the completeness as a function of peak absolute and apparent magnitudes. If a total of N out of M trials are detections, then the completeness is F 1 = N / M . Fig. <ref type="figure">4</ref> shows the completeness as a function of apparent magnitude for the different absolute magnitudes after binning the trials by their apparent magnitude.  The completeness flattens out at the bright end at &#8764;80-85 per cent , limited by the seasonal gaps. The completeness slowly declines but then begins to drop rapidly from &#8764; 60 per cent at m V, peak = 16 mag to &#8764; 0 per cent at m V, peak = 18 mag . The completeness is also lower for less luminous SNe because they spend less time near their peak luminosity. We choose a limit of m V, lim = 17 mag for our standard analysis since that is where the completeness is &#8764; 50 per cent .</p><p>Since we adjust z lim with the peak absolute magnitude to a v oid wasting trials, we need to correct the completeness to a common volume for all SNe. Our choice of z max = 0.08 defines the maximum redshift. Thus given the comoving volume V ( z), there is a second completeness factor of F 2 ( M V ,peak ) = V ( z lim ( M V ,peak ))/ V ( z max ) to correct for the differences in volume between z lim and z max . The final statistical weight for the i th observed SN is</p><p>Given the statistical weights, the volumetric rate R for SNe Ia is calculated by summing N SNe within a time span t and a fixed comoving volume V . Each SN is weighted by the factor w i that MNRAS 530, <ref type="bibr">5016-5029 (2024)</ref> accounts for the incompleteness given its peak apparent and absolute magnitudes.

Including the lower redshift limit of z min = 0.005 changes the volume by only &#8764; 0 . 03 per cent . The effects of time dilation are already included in the computation of the weights. Therefore, the rate R , as given by equation ( <ref type="formula">6</ref>), provides an estimate for the number of SNe that occur per unit comoving volume and time.</p><p>We estimate the total volumetric rate using equation ( <ref type="formula">6</ref>). We also compute an LF by splitting the sample into absolute magnitude bins of width 0.5 mag and use equation ( <ref type="formula">6</ref>) to calculate the rate in each bin divided by the bin size to obtain the rate per magnitude. Because of the sample size and high spectroscopic completeness, we are also able to compute LFs for some of the major sub-types of SNe Ia. The sub-types that have more than one object include the o v erluminous Ia-91T ( N = 30), the subluminous Ia-91bg ( N = 9), the extremely bright Ia-CSM ( N = 3) and Ia-03fg ( N = 2) classes.</p><p>The statistical errors on all rates are estimated using bootstrapping. We first randomly draw the sample size as a Poisson deviate with an expected number equal to the observed sample ( N = 404 for our standard sample). Then, we randomly draw that number of SNe from the observed sample with replacement. This also approximates the error in the completeness corrections coming from the SN weights through the random selection of SNe. The standard error on the rate is then given by the 16 th and the 84 th percentiles of the bootstrapped rate distribution. Errors for the bins in the LFs with more than one object are obtained in the same manner as the total sample. Errors for the bins with only one object are estimated using only the Poisson uncertainties.</p><p>We did not explicitly correct for the five SNe in the V -band catalogues without spectroscopic classification that could have been selected in our final sample. Given the relative numbers of SNe Ia and core-collapse SNe in <ref type="bibr">Holoien et al. ( 2019 )</ref>, we would expect &#8764;3 of these to be SNe Ia. Crudely, this implies an underestimate of the rates by &#8764;3/404, or less than 1 per cent, which is much smaller than the statistical or other systematic uncertainties.</p></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><head n="4.1">Volumetric SN Ia rates</head><p>Fig. <ref type="figure">5</ref> sho ws ho w our total rate estimates depend on the choice of the minimum Galactic latitude, limiting apparent magnitude, and maximum redshift. A fainter limiting magnitude or working closer to the Galactic plane includes more SNe in the sample, thereby reducing the statistical errors, but requires larger completeness corrections, which increases the systematic uncertainties. The total volumetric rate is roughly constant for a latitude cut of | b lim | &gt; 15 &#8226; and for a limiting magnitude of m V, lim &lt; 17 mag , indicating that the completeness corrections are performing as expected given the uncertainties. As a compromise between the number of SNe and systematic uncertainty, we choose our standard values of | b lim | = 15 &#8226; and m V, lim = 17 mag . The total rate approaches a constant value with larger volume as z max increases. There are no more SNe in our sample beyond z = 0.08 so the rate is constant for higher redshifts. We choose z max = 0.08 as our standard limit.</p><p>Our SNe Ia sample has a median redshift of z med = 0.024 and the total rate calculated using the method described in Section 3 is R tot = 2 . 28 + 0 . 20 -0 . 20 &#215; 10 4 yr -1 Gpc -3 h 3 70 .</p><p>(7)</p><p>The fractional uncertainty ( &#963; R / R ) of 9 per cent is significantly more than the Poisson uncertainties from having 404 sources (5 per cent) in part because the weight factors w i are not uniform. For example, if a small fraction of the sources have very high weights, the statistical uncertainties are ultimately controlled by the Poisson variations in the numbers of these highly weighted sources rather than the fluctuations in the larger number of o v erall sources. In our case, this is driven by the minimum luminosity M V ,peak used to define the sample. While the weight factor depends weakly on absolute magnitude (Fig. <ref type="figure">4</ref> ), the volume correction basically scales as log w i &#8733; -0 . 6 M V, peak , which varies by a factor of 500 between M V, peak = -16 . 5 mag and -21 mag . As shown in Table <ref type="table">2</ref> , increasing the minimum luminosity limit by a magnitude excludes few SNe from the sample. The total rate decreases as a result, since a smaller luminosity range is considered. But, excluding the lower luminosity SNe leads to uncertainties that approach the Poisson statistics limit. After converting the rates from various studies to a consistent value of H 0 = 70 km s -1 Mpc -1 , we first compare our total volumetric rate to other studies at low redshift ( z &lt; 0.1). The rates at low redshift are summarized in Table <ref type="table">3</ref> and are shown in Fig. <ref type="figure">6</ref> . Rates from both <ref type="bibr">Cappellaro, Evans &amp; Turatto ( 1999 )</ref> and <ref type="bibr">Li et al. ( 2011b )</ref> use a galaxy-targeted sample, which introduces large systematics in the observed sample. In particular, there was a bias towards more luminous galaxies, thus biasing the SN sample due to the correlation of SNe Ia and host properties (e.g. Sulli v an et al. 2010 ). Ho we ver, due to their large uncertainties, these rate measurements agree with our total rate within 1 &#963; .</p><p>Untargeted surv e ys pro vide a means of reducing the galaxy bias, although there is still the question of the radial SN distribution. <ref type="bibr">Holoien et al.

Their evolution of the rate with redshift is similarly fitted with a (1 + z) &#945; power law with &#945; = 2.1 &#177; 0.3 (dotted-dashed line in Fig. <ref type="figure">6</ref> ). Ho we v er, their e xtrapolated rate at z = 0 is lower than that of <ref type="bibr">Dilday et al. ( 2010 )</ref> because <ref type="bibr">Perrett et al.

The result is a reduction in the o v erall normalization of the redshift evolution by &#8764;15-20 per cent. Our rate measurement, which includes all subtypes, is consistent with the fit from <ref type="bibr">Dilday et al. ( 2010 )</ref> and not with that from <ref type="bibr">Perrett et al. ( 2012 )</ref>. For both <ref type="bibr">Dilday et al. ( 2010 )</ref> and <ref type="bibr">Perrett et al. ( 2012 )</ref>, the DTD fit is consistent with &#8733; &#964; -1 .

Another approach, as shown in <ref type="bibr">Horiuchi &amp; Beacom ( 2010 )</ref>, is to use a star formation rate (SFR) to constrain the exponent of the DTD.

Sharon &amp; Kushnir ( 2022 ) compute the observed LF for the LOSS surv e y shown in Fig. <ref type="figure">7</ref> by scaling the rates to match the total BTS rate at the peak of the LF. The two most luminous bins in our LF only include SNe Ia-CSM, which are not present in the LF from <ref type="bibr">Perley et al. ( 2020 )</ref>, causing the steep decline in rate at the luminous end. The low-luminosity end of our LF is consistent with the LF from <ref type="bibr">Perley et al. ( 2020 )</ref>, ho we ver, we see a significant difference for the higher luminosities. In their rate calculations, Perley et al. ( <ref type="formula">2020</ref>) used an average completeness correction factor of f rec = 0.6 for the reco v ery efficienc y of transients. As seen in Fig. <ref type="figure">4</ref> , the completeness is a function of absolute magnitude because more luminous SNe are brighter for longer. The use of a single correction f actor w ould result in an underestimate of the completeness for high-luminosity SNe leading to an o v erestimate of the associated rates. The rates from <ref type="bibr">Perley et al. ( 2020 )</ref> also do not seem to account for the time dilation of the rates, but this effect would be less important since the redshifts are modest. The magnitude shifts predicted by equation ( <ref type="formula">8</ref>) are uncertain by roughly 0 . 1 mag , which is not large enough to explain the factor of &#8764;5 difference in the LFs near M V = -19 . 5 mag .</p><p>A larger effect that can explain the difference is host-galaxy extinction. We can make the luminous end of the LFs agree if we have an av erage e xtra contribution to the right side of equation ( <ref type="formula">8</ref></p><p>If we use a typical Galactic extinction law with R V = 3.1 and R r = 2.3 <ref type="bibr">(Cardelli, Clayton &amp; Mathis 1989 )</ref>, then a mean extinction of E( Vr) &#8776; 0 . 21 mag provides the necessary shift. If we use an empirical extinction law derived from observations of SNe Ia but of uncertain interpretation, such as R V = 1.74 and R r = 0.89 from <ref type="bibr">Folatelli et al. ( 2010 )</ref>, then a mean extinction of E( Vr) &#8776; 0 . 22 mag again provides the necessary shift. These are roughly consistent with the estimates of E ( B -V ) &#8776; 0.1 and E ( B -V ) &#8776; 0.17 found by Sharon &amp; Kushnir ( 2022 ) and <ref type="bibr">Burns et al.

The resulting LF is more sharply peaked probably due to ignoring the scatter in the peak magnitude-s gr relation, which leads to a narrower distribution in magnitudes. The <ref type="bibr">Perley et al.

An additional contribution to the rate difference may be that Sharon &amp; Kushnir ( 2022 ) use a shorter surv e y duration compared to the BTS analysis. Using the longer duration of <ref type="bibr">Perley et al.

Specifically, the subtypes include Ia-norm (&amp; other), Ia-91bg, Ia-91T, Ia-CSM, Ia-03fg, Ia-02es, and Ia-00cx. Ia-norm (&amp; other) includes the normal SNe Ia as well as the SNe Ia that were not classified into a subtype. In total there are 358 Ia-norm (&amp; other), 9 Ia-91bg, 30 Ia-91T, 3 Ia-CSM, 2 Ia-03fg, 1 Ia-02es, and 1 Ia-00cx. Fig. <ref type="figure">8</ref> shows the LF for each subtype of SNe Ia and Table <ref type="table">4</ref> gives the rates. The LF of SNe Ia-91bg peaks at a fainter magnitude ( M V, peak &#8764; -17 . 75 mag ) than that of SNe Ia-91T ( M V, peak &#8764; -19 . 25 mag ), illustrating that SNe Ia-91bg are intrinsically fainter than SNe Ia-91T. From the total rates R Ia-91bg and R Ia-91T , we also note that SNe Ia-91bg are intrinsically more common than SNe Ia-91T, but since SNe Ia-91bg are faint and more difficult to classify, we do not observe as many of them. Finally, as expected, we see that only SNe Ia-CSM contribute to the two most luminous bins and are the only SNe Ia more luminous than M V, peak = -21 mag due to their CSM interaction.</p><p>The rates and LFs for each subtype shown here serve as a lower limit, since it is likely that some SNe Ia classified without a subtype fall in this category. <ref type="bibr">Li et al.

In comparison, we find a larger fraction of 89 per cent for SNe Ia-norm (&amp; other), and lower fractions of 6 per cent for SNe Ia-91bg, and 4 per cent for SNe Ia-91T. The fractions for the rarer subtypes are 0.4 per cent for SNe Ia-02es, 0.1 per cent for SNe Ia-03fg, 0.06 per cent for SNe Ia-00cx, and 0.04 per cent for SNe Ia-CSM.

A more careful, uniform spectroscopic classification is needed in the future to classify SNe Ia into appropriate subtypes.</p></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><head n="4.3">Correcting for host-galaxy extinction</head><p>Correcting for the host-galaxy extinction in each SN requires multiband light curves, which we do not have for this SN sample.</p><p>Sharon &amp; Kushnir ( 2022 ) used the colour stretch to correct for hostgalaxy extinction and found a mean selective extinction of E ( B -V ) &#8776; 0.1. From their re-analysis of the LOSS data, they found a mean extinction of A V &#8764; 0 . 5 mag with a tail out to A V &#8764; 2 -3 mag .</p><p>Similarly, the ZTF-BTS sample of host galaxies shows a mean extinction of A r &#8764; 0 . 25 mag and A g &#8764; 0 . 25 mag , both tailing out to values of &#8764; 2 mag .</p><p>Here, we provide LFs as a function of host-galaxy extinction values which can be weighted to provide any 'desired' correction. We show the LFs for different values of host-galaxy extinction A V = (0 . 0 , 0 . 25 , 0 . 5 , 1 . 0, and 1 . 5 mag ) in Fig. <ref type="figure">9</ref> and provide the rates in Tables A1 , A2 , A3 , and A4 . The o v erall effect is nearly identical to simply adding a constant extinction to all SNe leading to a shift in the rates of 10 0 . 6 A V modulo small second-order effects. As outlined in Section 4.2 , the LFs in two different filters can also be used to estimate the host-extinction. Assuming that our LF and the LF from <ref type="bibr">Perley et al. ( 2020 )</ref> are both correct, they must agree with each other after accounting for the host-galaxy extinction term when converting from one filter to another. Using this method, we estimate a mean host extinction of E( Vr) &#8776; 0 . 2 mag .</p></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><head n="5">S U M M A RY</head><p>We use a nearly spectroscopically complete catalogue of SNe Ia from ASAS-SN <ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. 2017a</ref><ref type="bibr">(Holoien et al. , b , c , 2019 ) )</ref> to estimate the volumetric SN Ia rate in the local Universe ( z &lt; 0.08). We start by refitting all ASAS-SN light curves using the V -band SN Ia templates from <ref type="bibr">Nugent, Kim &amp; Perlmutter ( 2002 )</ref> to impro v e the estimates of the peak magnitudes (see Section 2 ). We use randomly drawn light curves and injected SNe to estimate completeness corrections as a function of the peak apparent and absolute magnitudes of SNe. After weighing each observed SN according to its peak apparent and absolute magnitudes, we compute the volumetric rate (see equation 6 ).</p><p>After considering the effect of various limiting cuts (see Section 4.1 ), we use a sample of 404 SNe Ia at a median redshift of z med = 0.024 for our standard results. The choice of | b lim | = 15 &#8226; and m V, lim = 17 mag provides a balance between statistical and systematic uncertainties for our sample. The standard sample yields a total volumetric rate of R tot = 2 . 28 + 0 . 20 -0 . 20 &#215; 10 4 yr -1 Gpc -3 h 3 70 . This rate is in agreement with rates from other studies at low redshifts <ref type="bibr">(Cappellaro, Evans &amp; Turatto 1999 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Dilday et al. 2010 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Li et al. 2011b ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Frohmaier et al. 2019 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Perley et al. 2020 ;</ref><ref type="bibr">Sri v astav et al. 2022</ref> ), but has smaller uncertainties.</p><p>MNRAS 530, <ref type="bibr">5016-5029 (2024)</ref> We construct the observed LF and compare it with LFs from <ref type="bibr">Li et al. ( 2011a )</ref>, <ref type="bibr">Perley et al. ( 2020 ), and</ref><ref type="bibr">Sharon &amp;</ref><ref type="bibr">Kushnir ( 2022 )</ref>. We use a completeness correction as a function of both apparent and absolute magnitudes, rather than an average completeness. Assuming that our LF and that from <ref type="bibr">(Perley et al. 2020</ref> ) are both correct, we estimate a mean host extinction of E( Vr) &#8776; 0 . 2 mag based on the magnitude shift between the LFs in the different filters ( V and r ). We also compute, for the first time, LFs for the major subtypes of SNe Ia, finding that the less luminous SNe Ia-91bg are more numerous than the more luminous SNe Ia-91T (see Section 4.2 ). Finally, we provide the LFs corrected for several values of average host-galaxy extinction (see Section 4.3 ).</p><p>In the upcoming papers, we plan on updating these SNe Ia rates using the newer g -band ASAS-SN data from <ref type="bibr">Neumann et al. ( 2023 )</ref> spanning SNe disco v ered from 2018 to 2020. The ASAS-SN gband observations are sensitive to objects &#8764;1 mag fainter than the V -band data and will roughly double the sample size. This will allow improving the estimates for the rates and LFs. Such a large sample will also allow us to obtain the rates as a function of other parameters such as galaxy type, local SN environments, or separation of an SN from its host. We will employ a more careful uniform spectroscopic classification to classify SNe Ia into appropriate subtypes and impro v e the subtype rates. We will also be able to calculate rates for other populations, in particular, the core-collapse (CC) SNe and the tidal disruption events (TDEs). This paper is the first in a series that will measure rates and LFs for SNe Ia, CC SNe, TDEs, and other transients from ASAS-SN.</p><p>MNRAS 530, 5016-5029 (2024)</p></div>
