The Broad-lined Type Ic SN 2003jd
S. Valenti, S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro +27
The results of a world-wide coordinated observational campaign on the broad-lined Type Ic SN 2003jd are presented. In total, 74 photometric data points and 26 spectra were collecte…
An unusually brilliant transient in the galaxy Messier 85
S. R. Kulkarni, E. O. Ofek, A. Rau +11
Historically, variable and transient sources have both surprised astronomers and provided new views of the heavens. Here we report the discovery of an optical transient in the outs…
The Troublesome Broadband Evolution of GRB 061126: Does a Grey Burst Imply Grey Dust?
D. A. Perley, J. S. Bloom, N. R. Butler +18
We report on observations of a gamma-ray burst (GRB 061126) with an extremely bright (R ~ 12 mag at peak) early-time optical afterglow. The optical afterglow is already fading as a…
Observational Constraints on the Nature of the Dark Energy: First Cosmological Results from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey
W. M. Wood-Vasey, G. Miknaitis, C. W. Stubbs +34
We present constraints on the dark energy equation-of-state parameter, w=P/(rho c^2), using 60 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the ESSENCE supernova survey. We derive a set of con…
