Polarimetry and Photometry of Gamma-Ray Bursts with RINGO2

I. A. Steele, D. Kopac, D. M. Arnold +8

We present a catalog of early-time (~10^2-10^4s) photometry and polarimetry of all Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) optical afterglows observed with RINGO2 imaging polarimeter on the Liverpoo…

A remarkable recurrent nova in M31: Discovery and optical/UV observations of the predicted 2014 eruption

M. J. Darnley, M. Henze, I. A. Steele +20

The Andromeda Galaxy recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a had been caught in eruption eight times. The inter-eruption period of M31N 2008-12a is ~1 year, making it the most rapidly recurri…

New constraints on GRB jet geometry and relativistic shock physics

C. Guidorzi, C. G. Mundell, R. Harrison +23

We use high--quality, multi-band observations of Swift GRB120404A, from gamma-ray to radio frequencies, together with the new hydrodynamics code of van Eerten et al. (2012) to test…

GRB 090727 and gamma-ray bursts with early time optical emission

D. Kopac, S. Kobayashi, A. Gomboc +9

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of gamma-ray burst GRB 090727, for which optical emission was detected during the prompt gamma-ray emission by the 2-m autonomous robotic Liv…

PTF11eon/SN2011dh: Discovery of a Type IIb Supernova From a Compact Progenitor in the Nearby Galaxy M51

Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +40

On May 31, 2011 UT a supernova (SN) exploded in the nearby galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). We discovered this event using small telescopes equipped with CCD cameras, as well as…

GRB 090902B: afterglow observations and implications

S. B. Pandey, C. A. Swenson, D. A. Perley +30

The optical-infrared afterglow of the LAT-detected long duration burst, GRB 090902B, has been observed by several instruments. The earliest detection by ROTSE-IIIa occurred 80 minu…
