The host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory

We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxies of 82 low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory.We determine star formation rates, gas-phase/stellarmetallicities, and stellarmasses and ages of these objects. As expected, strong correlations betwe...
