GRB 080503: Implications of a Naked Short Gamma-Ray Burst Dominated by Extended Emission

D. A. Perley, B. D. Metzger, J. Granot +22

We report on observations of GRB 080503, a short gamma-ray burst with very bright extended emission (about 30 times the gamma-ray fluence of the initial spike) in conjunction with…

Improved Standardization of Type II-P Supernovae: Application to an Expanded Sample

Dovi Poznanski, Nathaniel Butler, Alexei V. Filippenko +16

In the epoch of precise and accurate cosmology, cross-confirmation using a variety of cosmographic methods is paramount to circumvent systematic uncertainties. Owing to progenitor…

The Exceptionally Luminous Type II-L SN 2008es

A. A. Miller, R. Chornock, D. A. Perley +11

We report on our early photometric and spectroscopic observations of the extremely luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2008es. With an observed peak optical magnitude of m_V = 17.8 and…

The Rate of Type Ia Supernovae at z~0.2 from SDSS-I Overlapping Fields

Assaf Horesh, Dovi Poznanski, Eran O. Ofek +1

In the course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I), a large fraction of the surveyed area was observed more than once due to field tiling overlap, usually at different epochs.…

The complex light-curve of the afterglow of GRB071010A

S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo, A. Klotz +51

We present and discuss the results of an extensive observational campaign devoted to GRB071010A, a long-duration gamma-ray burst detected by the Swift satellite. This event was fol…
