The long-lived Type IIn SN 2015da: Infrared echoes and strong interaction within an extended massive shell

L. Tartaglia, A. Pastorello, J. Sollerman +41

In this paper we report the results of the first four years of spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the Type IIn supernova SN 2015da (also known as PSN J13522411+39412…

A Sample of Type II-L Supernovae

T. Faran, D. Poznanski, A. V. Filippenko +8

What are Type II-Linear supernovae (SNe II-L)? This class, which has been ill defined for decades, now receives significant attention -- both theoretically, in order to understand…

GRB 091024A and the nature of ultra-long gamma-ray bursts

F. J. Virgili, C. G. Mundell, V. Pal'shin +30

We present a broadband study of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 091024A within the context of other ultra-long-duration GRBs. An unusually long burst detected by Konus-Wind, Swift, and Fermi…

The Fast and Furious Decay of the Peculiar Type Ic Supernova 2005ek

M. R. Drout, A. M. Soderberg, P. A. Mazzali +21

We present extensive multi-wavelength observations of the extremely rapidly declining Type Ic supernova, SN 2005ek. Reaching a peak magnitude of M_R = -17.3 and decaying by ~3 mag…

Evidence for energy injection and a fine-tuned central engine at optical wavelengths in GRB 070419A

A. Melandri, C. Guidorzi, S. Kobayashi +13

We present a comprehensive multiwavelength temporal and spectral analysis of the FRED GRB 070419A. The early-time emission in the -ray and X-ray bands can be explained by a cent…

The First Positive Detection of Molecular Gas in a GRB Host Galaxy

J. X. Prochaska, Y. Sheffer, D. A. Perley +9

We report on strong H2 and CO absorption from gas within the host galaxy of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 080607. Analysis of our Keck/LRIS afterglow spectrum reveals a very large HI colum…
