SDSS J080449.49+161624.8: A peculiar AM CVn star from a colour-selected sample of candidates
G. H. A. Roelofs, P. J. Groot, D. Steeghs +6
We describe a spectroscopic survey designed to uncover an estimated ~40 AM CVn stars hiding in the photometric database of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We have constructed…
M31N 2007-11d: A Slowly-Rising, Luminous Nova in M31
A. W. Shafter, A. Rau, R. M. Quimby +4
We report a series of extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the luminous M31 nova M31N 2007-11d. Our photometric observations coupled with previous measurements s…
Discovery of the Ultra-Bright Type II-L Supernova 2008es
S. Gezari, J. P. Halpern, D. Grupe +12
We report the discovery by the Robotic Optical Transient Experiment (ROTSE-IIIb) telescope of SN 2008es, an overluminous supernova (SN) at z=0.205 with a peak visual magnitude of -…
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…
GRBs 070429B and 070714B: The High End of the Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Redshift Distribution
S. Bradley Cenko, Edo Berger, Ehud Nakar +11
We present optical spectra of the host galaxies of the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070429B and the likely short-duration with extended emission GRB 070714B. In both cases, w…
A comprehensive study of GRB 070125, a most energetic gamma ray burst
Poonam Chandra, S. Bradley Cenko, Dale Frail +21
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of the bright, long duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070125, comprised of observations in -ray, X-ray, optical, millimeter and ce…
