The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
Expected characteristics of the subclass of Supernova Gamma-ray Bursts (S-GRBs)
J. S. Bloom, S. R. Kulkarni, F. Harrison +3
The spatial and temporal coincidence between the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980425 and supernova (SN) 1998bw has prompted speculation that there exists a class of GRBs produced by SNe (…
The Digital Sky Project: Prototyping Virtual Observatory Technologies
R. J Brunner, T. Prince, J. Good +3
Astronomy is entering a new era as multiple, large area, digital sky surveys are in production. The resulting datasets are truly remarkable in their own right; however, a revolutio…
Massive Black Holes Across Cosmic Time
