Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin
E. Burns, D. Svinkin, K. Hurley +23
Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collap…
Optical Follow-Up Observations of PTF10qts, a Luminous Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernova Found by the Palomar Transient Factory
E. S. Walker, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +22
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SNIc-BL) PTF10qts, which was discovered as part of the Palomar Transient Factory. The supernova…
The ultraluminous GRB 110918A
D. D. Frederiks, K. Hurley, D. S. Svinkin +29
GRB 110918A is the brightest long GRB detected by Konus-WIND during its 19 years of continuous observations and the most luminous GRB ever observed since the beginning of the cosmo…
Inverse Compton X-ray Emission from Supernovae with Compact Progenitors: Application to SN2011fe
R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg, L. Chomiuk +35
We present a generalized analytic formalism for the inverse Compton X-ray emission from hydrogen-poor supernovae and apply this framework to SN2011fe using Swift-XRT, UVOT and Chan…
Panchromatic Observations of SN 2011dh Point to a Compact Progenitor Star
Alicia M. Soderberg, R. Margutti, B. A. Zauderer +32
We report the discovery and detailed monitoring of X-ray emission associated with the Type IIb SN 2011dh using data from the Swift and Chandra satellites, placing it among the best…
PTF 10bzf (SN 2010ah): a broad-line Ic supernova discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
A. Corsi, E. O. Ofek, D. A. Frail +26
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of a broad-line type-Ic supernova (SN), PTF 10bzf (SN 2010ah), detected by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) on 2010 February…
