Optical and IR observations of SN 2002dj: some possible common properties of fast expanding SNe Ia
G. Pignata, S. Benetti, P. A. Mazzali +17
As part of the European Supernova Collaboration we obtained extensive photometry and spectroscopy of the type Ia SN 2002dj covering epochs from 11 days before to nearly two years a…
A comprehensive study of GRB 070125, a most energetic gamma ray burst
Poonam Chandra, S. Bradley Cenko, Dale Frail +21
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of the bright, long duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070125, comprised of observations in -ray, X-ray, optical, millimeter and ce…
GRB070125: The First Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst in a Halo Environment
S. B. Cenko, D. B. Fox, B. E. Penprase +15
We present the discovery and high signal-to-noise spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB070125. Unlike all previously observed…
The Broad-lined Type Ic SN 2003jd
S. Valenti, S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro +27
The results of a world-wide coordinated observational campaign on the broad-lined Type Ic SN 2003jd are presented. In total, 74 photometric data points and 26 spectra were collecte…
The Correlation Between Star Formation and 21cm Emission During the Reionization Epoch
Stuart Wyithe, Avi Loeb, Brian Schmidt
Reionization is thought to be dominated by low mass galaxies, while direct observations of resolved galaxies probe only the most massive, rarest objects. The cross-correlation betw…
ESC observations of SN 2005cf: II. Optical Spectroscopy and the high velocity features
G. Garavini, S. Nobili, S. Taubenberger +11
The ESC-RTN optical spectroscopy data-set for SN 2005cf is presented and analyzed. The observations range from -11.6 and +77.3 days with respect to B-band maximum light. The evolut…
The gamma-ray burst GRB060614 requires a novel explosive process
A. Gal-Yam, D. Fox, P. Price +26
Over the past decade our physical understanding of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has progressed rapidly thanks to the discovery and observation of their long-lived afterglow emission. Lo…
Relativistic ejecta from XRF 060218 and the rate of cosmic explosions
A. M. Soderberg, S. R. Kulkarni, E. Nakar +22
Over the last decade, long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the subclass of X-ray flashes (XRFs) have been revealed to be a rare variety of Type Ibc supernova (SN). While…
The afterglow of GRB050709 and the nature of the short-hard gamma-ray bursts
D. B. Fox, D. A. Frail, P. A. Price +33
The final chapter in the long-standing mystery of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) centres on the origin of the short-hard class, suspected on theoretical grounds to result from the coa…
Discovery and identification of the very high redshift afterglow of GRB 050904
J. Haislip, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart +39
In 2000, Lamb and Reichart predicted that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows occur in sufficient numbers and at sufficient brightnesses at very high redshifts (z > 5) to…
The Afterglows, Redshifts, and Properties of Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, S. R. Kulkarni, D. B. Fox +29
We present optical, near-IR, and radio follow up of sixteen Swift bursts, including our discovery of nine afterglows and a redshift determination for three. These observations, sup…
The Early Optical Afterglow of GRB 030418 and Progenitor Mass Loss
E. S. Rykoff, D. A. Smith, P. A. Price +13
The ROTSE-IIIa telescope and the SSO-40 inch telescope, both located at Siding Spring Observatory, imaged the early time afterglow of GRB 030418. In this report we present observat…
Optical-Infrared ANDICAM Observations of the Transient Associated with GRB 030329
J. S. Bloom, P. G. van Dokkum, C. D. Bailyn +3
We present photometry of the transient associated with GRB 030329 obtained with the CTIO 1.3--meter telescope and the ANDICAM instrument, a dual optical/infrared imager with a dich…
The Unusually Long Duration Gamma-ray Burst GRB 000911
P. A. Price, E. Berger, S. R. Kulkarni +18
Of all the well localized gamma-ray bursts, GRB 000911 has the longest duration (T_90 ~ 500 s), and ranks in the top 1% of BATSE bursts for fluence. Here, we report the discovery o…
Broadband Observations of the Afterglow of GRB 000926: Observing the Effect of Inverse Compton Scattering and Evidence for a High-Density Environment
