A Review of Early-Time Optical Follow-ups with 2-m Robotic Telescopes
A. Gomboc, C. Guidorzi, C. G. Mundell +9
We summarise recent deep, rapid GRB follow-up observations using the RoboNet-1.0 network which comprises three fully-robotic 2-m telescopes, the Liverpool Telescope and the Faulkes…
The First DIRECT Distance Determination to a Detached Eclipsing Binary in M33
A. Z. Bonanos, K. Z. Stanek, R. P. Kudritzki +12
We present the first direct distance determination to a detached eclipsing binary in M33, which was found by the DIRECT Project. Located in the OB 66 association at coordinates (al…
The first Swift X-ray Flash: The faint afterglow of XRF 050215B
A. J. Levan, J. P. Osborne, N. R. Tanvir +17
We present the discovery of XRF 050215B and its afterglow. The burst was detected by the Swift BAT during the check-out phase and observations with the X-ray telescope began approx…
Deep CFHT Photometric Survey of the Entire M33 Galaxy I: Catalogue of 36000 Variable Point Sources
J. D. Hartman, D. Bersier, K. Z. Stanek +4
We have conducted a variability survey of the local group galaxy M33 using g', r', and i' observations from 27 nights spanning 17 months made with the MegaPrime/MegaCam instrument…
Long gamma-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments
A. S. Fruchter, A. J. Levan, L. Strolger +30
When massive stars exhaust their fuel they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse al…
Evidence for a Supernova Associated with the X-ray Flash 020903
D. Bersier, A. S. Fruchter, L. -G. Strolger +24
We present ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope optical observations of the X-ray flash (XRF) 020903, covering 300 days. The afterglow showed a very rapid rise in the first day,…
