POET: POlarimeters for Energetic Transients
J. E. Hill, M. L. McConnell, P. Bloser +15
POET (Polarimeters for Energetic Transients) is a Small Explorer mission concept proposed to NASA in January 2008. The principal scientific goal of POET is to measure GRB polarizat…
Neutrino-Nucleus Reaction Cross Sections for Light Element Synthesis in Supernova Explosions
T. Yoshida, T. Suzuki, S. Chiba +5
The neutrino-nucleus reaction cross sections of 4He and 12C are evaluated using new shell model Hamiltonians. Branching ratios of various decay channels are calculated to evaluate…
A photometric redshift of for the \agile GRB 080514B
A. Rossi, A. de Ugarte Postigo, P. Ferrero +26
Aims: The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B is the first burst with detected emission above 30 MeV and an optical afterglow. However, no spectroscopic redshift for this burst is kn…
Three X-ray transients in M31 observed with Swift
R. Voss, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +5
The purpose of this study is to find transient X-ray sources in M31, and to investigate and classify their nature. Three X-ray transients were observed with Swift. For each of the…
SN2007ax : An Extremely Faint Type Ia Supernova
M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +8
We present multi-band photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of SN2007ax, the faintest and reddest Type Ia supernova (SNIa) yet observed. With M_B = -15.9 and (B-V)max…
The Rapidly Flaring Afterglow of the Very Bright and Energetic GRB 070125
Adria C. Updike, Joshua B. Haislip, Melissa C. Nysewander +52
We report on multi-wavelength observations, ranging from the X-ray to radio wave bands, of the IPN-localized gamma-ray burst GRB 070125. Spectroscopic observations reveal the prese…
