SN 2005ap: A Most Brilliant Explosion
Robert M. Quimby, Greg Aldering, J. Craig Wheeler +3
We present unfiltered photometric observations with ROTSE-III and optical spectroscopic follow-up with the HET and Keck of the most luminous supernova yet identified, SN 2005ap. Th…
Measuring the mean and scatter of the X-ray luminosity -- optical richness relation for maxBCG galaxy clusters
E. S. Rykoff, T. A. McKay, M. R. Becker +6
Determining the scaling relations between galaxy cluster observables requires large samples of uniformly observed clusters. We measure the mean X-ray luminosity--optical richness (…
The Dark Side of ROTSE-III Prompt GRB Observations
S. A. Yost, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +22
We present several cases of optical observations during gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which resulted in prompt limits but no detection of optical emission. These limits constrain the pro…
SN 2006bp: Probing the Shock Breakout of a Type II-P Supernova
Robert M. Quimby, J. Craig Wheeler, Peter Höflich +3
HET optical spectroscopy and unfiltered ROTSE-III photometry spanning the first 11 months since explosion of the Type II-P SN 2006bp are presented. Flux limits from the days before…
Swift Observations of the Cooling Accretion Disk of XTE J1817-330
E. S. Rykoff, J. M. Miller, D. Steeghs +1
The black hole candidate X-ray transient XTE J1817-330 was observed by the Swift satellite over 160 days of its 2006 outburst with the XRT and UVOT instruments. At the start of the…
