SN 2006gy: An extremely luminous supernova in the galaxy NGC 1260
E. O. Ofek, P. B. Cameron, M. M. Kasliwal +8
With an extinction-corrected V-band peak absolute magnitude of about -22, supernova (SN) 2006gy is probably the brightest SN ever observed. We report on multi-wavelength observatio…
The host galaxy of GRB 011121: Morphology and Spectral Energy Distribution
Aybuke Kupcu Yoldas, Mara Salvato, Jochen Greiner +3
(Abridged) We present a detailed study of the host galaxy of GRB 011121 (at z = 0.36) based on high-resolution imaging in 5 broad-band, optical and near-infrared filters with HST a…
The Incidence of Dwarf Novae in Large Area Transient Searches
A. Rau, R. Schwarz, S. R. Kulkarni +6
Understanding and quantifying the contribution of known classes of transient and variable sources is an important lesson to be learned from the manifold of pre-cursors programs of…
A New Population of High Redshift Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, P. A. Price +23
The redshift distribution of the short-duration GRBs is a crucial, but currently fragmentary, clue to the nature of their progenitors. Here we present optical observations of nine…
Constraints on an optical afterglow and on supernova light following the short burst GRB 050813
P. Ferrero, S. F. Sanchez, D. A. Kann +18
We report early follow-up observations of the error box of the short burst 050813 using the telescopes at Calar Alto and at Observatorio Sierra Nevada (OSN), followed by deep VLT/F…
The nature of the DLS fast transients
S. R. Kulkarni, A. Rau
The discovery and study of highly transient sources, especially those which rise to high brightness and then fade to obscurity, has been a major part of modern astrophysics. Well k…
