Berkeley Supernova Ia Program I: Observations, Data Reduction, and Spectroscopic Sample of 582 Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Ryan J. Foley, Alexei V. Filippenko +37
In this first paper in a series we present 1298 low-redshift (z\leq0.2) optical spectra of 582 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1989 through 2008 as part of the Berkeley S…
Training the Next Generation of Astronomers
Peter K. G. Williams, Eric Huff, Holly Maness +28
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a…
X-ray Properties of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Active Galaxies. II. X-ray-Bright Accretion and Possible Evidence for Slim Disks
Louis-Benoit Desroches, Jenny E. Greene, Luis C. Ho
We present X-ray properties of optically-selected intermediate-mass (~10^5--10^6 M_Sun) black holes (BHs) in active galaxies (AGNs), using data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.…
Candidate AGNs in Late-Type Galaxies
Louis-Benoit Desroches, Luis Ho
We have assembled a sample of 64 late-type spiral galaxies (T types 6.0-9.0, corresponding to Hubble types Scd-Sm) with archival Chandra data. At a signal-to-noise (S/N) threshold…
Multiwavelength Monitoring of the Dwarf Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4395. III. Optical Variability and X-ray/UV/Optical Correlations
Louis-Benoit Desroches, Alexei V. Filippenko, Shai Kaspi +11
We present optical observations of the low-luminosity Seyfert 1 nucleus of NGC 4395, as part of a multiwavelength reverberation-mapping program. Observations were carried out over…
Multiwavelength Monitoring of the Dwarf Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4395. II. X-ray and Ultraviolet Continuum Variability
Paul M. O'Neill, Shai Kaspi, Ari Laor +7
We report on two Chandra observations, and a simultaneous Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet observation, of the dwarf Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4395. Each Chandra observation had a dur…
