There is a consensus that Type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) arise from the thermonuclear explosion of white dwarf stars that accrete matter from a binary companion. However, direct obser…
Analysis of the Early-Time Optical Spectra of SN 2011fe in M101
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, B. Friesen +35
The nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe in M101 (cz=241 km s^-1) provides a unique opportunity to study the early evolution of a "normal" Type Ia supernova, its compositional struct…
Asteroid rotation periods from the Palomar Transient Factory survey
D. Polishook, E. O. Ofek, A. Waszczak +17
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a synoptic survey designed to explore the transient and variable sky in a wide variety of cadences. We use PTF observations of fields that we…
