The Impact of Metallicity on the Rate of Type Ia Supernovae
Matthew D. Kistler, K. Z. Stanek, Christopher S. Kochanek +2
The metallicity of a star strongly affects both its evolution and the properties of the stellar remnant that results from its demise. It is generally accepted that stars with initi…
The Discovery and Nature of Optical Transient CSS100217:102913+404220
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +32
We report on the discovery and observations of the extremely luminous optical transient CSS100217:102913+404220 (CSS100217 hereafter). Spectroscopic observations show this transien…
A Study of Cepheids in M81 with the Large Binocular Telescope (Efficiently Calibrated with HST)
J. R. Gerke, C. S. Kochanek, J. L. Prieto +2
We identify and phase a sample of 107 Cepheids with 10<P/days<100 in M81 using the LBT and calibrate their BVI mean magnitudes with archival HST data. The use of a ground-based tel…
