Mildly relativistic X-ray transient 080109 and SN2008D: Towards a continuum from energetic GRB/XRF to ordinary Ibc SN
Dong Xu, Yuan-Chuan Zou, Yi-Zhong Fan
We analyze the hitherto available space-based X-ray data as well as ground-based optical data of the X-ray transient 080109/SN2008D. From the data we suggest that (i) The initial t…
