Monster in the Dark: The Ultraluminous GRB 080607 and its Dusty Environment

Daniel A. Perley, A. N. Morgan, A. Updike +17

We present early-time optical through infrared photometry of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB 080607, starting only 6 s following the initial trigger in the rest frame. Complemented…

New Observations of the Very Luminous Supernova 2006gy: Evidence for Echoes

A. A. Miller, N. Smith, W. Li +4

Supernova (SN) 2006gy was a hydrogen-rich core-collapse SN that remains one of the most luminous optical supernovae ever observed. The total energy budget (> 2 x 10^51 erg radiated…

GRB 080503: Implications of a Naked Short Gamma-Ray Burst Dominated by Extended Emission

D. A. Perley, B. D. Metzger, J. Granot +22

We report on observations of GRB 080503, a short gamma-ray burst with very bright extended emission (about 30 times the gamma-ray fluence of the initial spike) in conjunction with…

The Exceptionally Luminous Type II-L SN 2008es

A. A. Miller, R. Chornock, D. A. Perley +11

We report on our early photometric and spectroscopic observations of the extremely luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2008es. With an observed peak optical magnitude of m_V = 17.8 and…

Exploring the Outer Solar System with the ESSENCE Supernova Survey

A. C. Becker, K. Arraki, N. A. Kaib +36

We report the discovery and orbit determination of 14 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey difference imaging dataset. Two additional objects discovered…

Time Dilation in Type Ia Supernova Spectra at High Redshift

S. Blondin, T. M. Davis, K. Krisciunas +29

We present multiepoch spectra of 13 high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) drawn from the literature, the ESSENCE and SNLS projects, and our own separate dedicated program on th…
