iPTF14yb: The First Discovery of a GRB Afterglow Independent of a High-Energy Trigger
S. Bradley Cenko, Alex L. Urban, Daniel A. Perley +34
We report here the discovery by the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of iPTF14yb, a luminous ( mag), cosmological (redshift 1.9733), rapidly fading…
A detailed study of the optical attenuation of gamma-ray bursts in the Swift era
O. M. Littlejohns, N. R. Butler, A. Cucchiara +16
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of 28 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the \textit{Swift} satellite and rapidly observed by the Reionization and Transients…
Obscured clusters.IV. The most massive stars in [DBS2003]179
J. Borissova, L. Georgiev, M. M. Hanson +6
Aims. We report new results for the massive evolved and main sequence members of the young galactic cluster DBS2003 179. We determine the physical parameters and investigate the hi…
The Synoptic All-Sky Infrared (SASIR) Survey
Joshua S. Bloom, J. Xavier Prochaska, William Lee +42
We are proposing to conduct a multicolor, synoptic infrared (IR) imaging survey of the Northern sky with a new, dedicated 6.5-meter telescope at San Pedro Mártir (SPM) Observatory.…
New insights into the nature of the SMC WR/LBV binary HD 5980
C. Foellmi, G. Koenigsberger, L. Georgiev +14
We present the results of optical wavelength observations of the unusual SMC eclipsing binary system HD 5980 obtained in 1999 and 2004--2005. Radial velocity curves for the eruptin…
Obscured clusters.I. GLIMPSE30 - Young Milky Way Star Cluster Hosting Wolf-Rayet Stars
R. Kurtev, J. Borissova, L. Georgiev +2
Young massive clusters are perfect astrophysical laboratories for study of massive stars. Clusters with Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are of special importance, since this enables us to st…
