GRB 050408: An Atypical Gamma-Ray Burst as a Probe of an Atypical Galactic Environment
R. J. Foley, D. A. Perley, D. Pooley +14
The bright GRB 050408 was localized by HETE-II near local midnight, enabling an impressive ground-based followup effort as well as space-based followup from Swift. The Swift data f…
A Chandra X-ray observation of the globular cluster Terzan 1
E. M. Cackett, R. Wijnands, C. O. Heinke +6
We present a 19 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of the globular cluster Terzan 1. Fourteen sources are detected within 1.4 arcmin of the cluster center with 2 of these sources predic…
A Neutron Star with a Massive Progenitor in Westerlund 1
M. P. Muno, J. S. Clark, P. A. Crowther +9
We report the discovery of an X-ray pulsar in the young, massive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1. We detected a coherent signal from the brightest X-ray source in the cluster, C…
Closing in on a Short-Hard Burst Progenitor: Constraints from Early-Time Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy of a Possible Host Galaxy of GRB 050509b
J. S. Bloom, J. X. Prochaska, D. Pooley +25
The localization of the short-duration, hard-spectrum GRB 050509b was a watershed event. Thanks to the nearly immediate relay of the GRB position by Swift, we began imaging the GRB…
Late-time X-Ray, UV and Optical Monitoring of Supernova 1979C
Stefan Immler, Robert A. Fesen, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +8
We present results from observations of SN 1979C with XMM-Newton in X-rays and in the UV, archival X-ray and HST data, and follow-up ground-based optical imaging. The XMM-Newton MO…
