Long gamma-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments

A. S. Fruchter, A. J. Levan, L. Strolger +30

When massive stars exhaust their fuel they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse al…

The SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances. IV. SBF Magnitudes, Colors, and Distances

John L. Tonry, Alan Dressler, John P. Blakeslee +5

We report data for band Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) magnitudes, V-I colors, and distance moduli for 300 galaxies. The Survey contains E, S0 and early-type spiral galax…

Lensing in the Hercules Supercluster

John P. Blakeslee, Mark R. Metzger, Harald Kuntschner +1

We report Keck LRIS observations of an arc-like background galaxy near the center of Abell 2152 (z=0.043), one of the three clusters comprising the Hercules supercluster. The backg…

A Definitive Optical Detection of a Supercluster at z = 0.91

L. M. Lubin, R. Brunner, M. R. Metzger +2

We present the results from a multi-band optical imaging program which has definitively confirmed the existence of a supercluster at z = 0.91. Two massive clusters of galaxies, CL1…

Lensed Arcs and Inner Structure of Abell 697

Mark R. Metzger, Chung-Pei Ma

We present new optical observations of the z=0.282 cluster Abell 697 from the Keck II telescope. Images show an unusual disturbed structure in the cD halo and a previously unknown…

Evidence for a supernova in reanalyzed optical and near-infrared images of GRB970228

T. J. Galama, N. Tanvir, P. M. Vreeswijk +14

We present B-, V-, R_c-, I_c-, J-, H-, K- and K'-band observations of the optical transient (OT) associated with GRB970228, based on a reanalysis of previously used images and unpu…
