SN2007ax : An Extremely Faint Type Ia Supernova
M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +8
We present multi-band photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of SN2007ax, the faintest and reddest Type Ia supernova (SNIa) yet observed. With M_B = -15.9 and (B-V)max…
GRB 071003: Broadband Follow-up Observations of a Very Bright Gamma-Ray Burst in a Galactic Halo
D. A. Perley, W. Li, R. Chornock +26
The optical afterglow of long-duration GRB 071003 is among the brightest yet to be detected from any GRB, with R ~ 12 mag in KAIT observations starting 42 s after the GRB trigger,…
GRBs 070429B and 070714B: The High End of the Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Redshift Distribution
S. Bradley Cenko, Edo Berger, Ehud Nakar +11
We present optical spectra of the host galaxies of the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070429B and the likely short-duration with extended emission GRB 070714B. In both cases, w…
GRB070610 : A Curious Galactic Transient
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +23
GRB 070610 is a typical high-energy event with a duration of 5s.Yet within the burst localization we detect a highly unusual X-ray and optical transient, SwiftJ195509.6+261406. We…
SN 2006gy: An extremely luminous supernova in the galaxy NGC 1260
E. O. Ofek, P. B. Cameron, M. M. Kasliwal +8
With an extinction-corrected V-band peak absolute magnitude of about -22, supernova (SN) 2006gy is probably the brightest SN ever observed. We report on multi-wavelength observatio…
The afterglow of GRB050709 and the nature of the short-hard gamma-ray bursts
D. B. Fox, D. A. Frail, P. A. Price +33
The final chapter in the long-standing mystery of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) centres on the origin of the short-hard class, suspected on theoretical grounds to result from the coa…
