A Light Echo from Type Ia Supernova 1995E?

J. L. Quinn, P. M. Garnavich, W. Li +4

We identify a light echo candidate from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of NGC 2441, the host galaxy of the Type Ia supernova 1995E. From the echo's angular size and the estim…

UVES/VLT high resolution spectroscopy of GRB 050730 afterglow: probing the features of the GRB environment

V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, E. Meurs +44

We analyze high resolution spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of GRB050730, obtained with UVES@VLT about hours after the GRB trigger. The spectrum shows that the I…

The multiwavelength afterglow of GRB 050721: a puzzling rebrightening seen in the optical but not in the X-ray

L. A. Antonelli, V. Testa, P. Romano +27

Context. GRB050721 was detected by Swift and promptly followed-up, in the X-ray by Swift itself and, in the optical band, by the VLT operated, for the first time, in rapid response…

The shock break-out of GRB 060218/SN 2006aj

S. Campana, V. Mangano, A. J. Blustin +36

Although the link between long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) has been established, hitherto there have been no observations of the beginning of a supernova explosion…
