Maintaining Capabilities in CCD Production for the Astronomy Community
Kyle Dawson, Stephen Holland, David Schlegel
CCD detectors play a vital role in all aspects of optical astronomy. Critical to advancing research is the ability to partner with commercial foundries to produce custom devices th…
Infrared and Optical Observations of GRB 030115 and its Extremely Red Host Galaxy: Implications for Dark Bursts
Andrew Levan, Andrew Fruchter, James Rhoads +24
We present near-infrared (nIR) and optical observations of the afterglow of GRB 030115. Discovered in an infrared search at Kitt Peak 5 hours after the burst trigger, this afterglo…
Probing Cosmic Chemical Evolution with Gamma-Ray Bursts: GRB060206 at z=4.048
J. P. U. Fynbo, R. L. C. Starling, C. Ledoux +25
Aim: We present early optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060206 with the aim of determining the metallicity of the GRB absorber and the physical condi…
GRB 020410: A Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Discovered by its Supernova Light
A. Levan, P. Nugent, A. Fruchter +19
We present the discovery and monitoring of the optical transient (OT) associated with GRB 020410. The fading OT was found by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations taken 28 and…
The optical afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 000926
J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Gorosabel, P. Moller +7
In this paper we illustrate with the case of GRB 000926 how Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) can be used as cosmological lighthouses to identify and study star forming galaxies at high reds…
Optical observations of the dark Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 000210
Javier Gorosabel, Jens Hjorth, Holger Pedersen +11
We report on optical observations on GRB 000210 obtained with the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope and the 1.54-m Danish Telescope starting 12.4 hours after the gamma-ray event. The…
