The circumburst environment of a FRED GRB: study of the prompt emission and X-ray/optical afterglow of GRB 051111
C. Guidorzi, A. Gomboc, S. Kobayashi +14
We report a multi-wavelength analysis of the prompt emission and early afterglow of GRB051111 and discuss its properties in the context of current fireball models. The detection of…
The Remarkable Afterglow of GRB 061007: Implications for Optical Flashes and GRB Fireballs
C. G. Mundell, A. Melandri, C. Guidorzi +18
We present a multiwavelength analysis of Swift GRB 061007. The 2-m robotic Faulkes Telescope South (FTS) began observing 137 s after the onset of the gamma-ray emission, when the o…
Infrared observations of the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi: the early phase
A. Evans, T. Kerr, Bin Yang +20
We present infrared spectroscopy of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, obtained 11.81, 20.75 and 55.71 days following its 2006 eruption. The spectra are dominated by hydrogen recombin…
An asymmetric shock wave in the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi
T. J. O'Brien, M. F. Bode, R. W. Porcas +6
Nova outbursts take place in binary star systems comprising a white dwarf and either a low-mass Sun-like star or, as in the case of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, a red giant. Alt…
Microlens OGLE-2005-BLG-169 Implies Cool Neptune-Like Planets are Common
A. Gould, A. Udalski, D. An +33
We detect a Neptune mass-ratio (q~8e-5) planetary companion to the lens star in the extremely high-magnification (A~800) microlensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-169. If the parent is a ma…
Rotational velocities of the giants in symbiotic stars: II. Are S-type symbiotics synchronized?
R. K. Zamanov, M. F. Bode, C. H. F. Melo +5
We have measured the projected rotational velocities (v sin i) of the mass donors for 29 S-type symbiotic stars using high resolution spectroscopic observations and the cross-corre…
