The death of massive stars - II. Observational constraints on the progenitors of type Ibc supernovae

John J. Eldridge, Morgan Fraser, Stephen J. Smartt +2

The progenitors of many type II core-collapse supernovae have now been identified directly on pre-discovery imaging. Here we present an extensive search for the progenitors of type…

Supernovae and radio transients in M 82

S. Mattila, M. Fraser, S. J. Smartt +4

We present optical and near-infrared (IR) photometry and near-IR spectroscopy of SN 2004am, the only optically detected supernova (SN) in M 82. These demonstrate that SN 2004am was…

A Panchromatic Catalog of Early-Type Galaxies at Intermediate Redshift in the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Early Release Science Field

M. J. Rutkowski, S. H. Cohen, S. Kaviraj +24

In the first of a series of forthcoming publications, we present a panchromatic catalog of 102 visually-selected early-type galaxies (ETGs) from observations in the Early Release S…

Triggered star-formation in the inner filament of Centaurus A

R. Mark Crockett, Stanislav S. Shabala, Sugata Kaviraj +7

We present recent Hubble Space Telescope observations of the inner filament of Centaurus A, using the new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and filters. We find a y…

A WFC3 study of globular clusters in NGC 4150 - an early-type minor merger

Sugata Kaviraj, R. Mark Crockett, Bradley C. Whitmore +8

We combine near-ultraviolet (NUV; 2250 Å) and optical (U, B, V, I) imaging from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), to study the globular clu…

Galaxy Zoo: dust lane early-type galaxies are tracers of recent, gas-rich minor mergers

Stanislav S. Shabala, Yuan-Sen Ting, Sugata Kaviraj +7

We present the second of two papers concerning the origin and evolution of local early-type galaxies exhibiting dust features. We use optical and radio data to examine the nature o…
