Simultaneous polarization monitoring of supernovae SN2008D/XT080109 and SN2007uy: isolating geometry from dust
J. Gorosabel, A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. J. Castro-Tirado +16
The possible existence of a continuum encompassing the diversity of explosive stellar deaths,ranging from ordinary SNe to relativistic hypernovae associated with long duration GRBs…
The properties of the host galaxy and the immediate environment of GRB 980425 / SN 1998bw from the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution
Michał J. Michałowski, Jens Hjorth, Daniele Malesani +7
We present an analysis of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the galaxy ESO 184-G82, the host of the closest known long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980425 and its associated super…
NGC 2770 - a supernova Ib factory?
Christina C. Thoene, Michal J. Michalowski, Giorgos Leloudas +5
NGC 2770 has been the host of three supernovae of Type Ib during the last 10 years, SN 1999eh, SN 2007uy and SN 2008D. SN 2008D attracted special attention due to the serendipitous…
Early spectroscopic identification of SN 2008D
D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +27
SN 2008D was discovered while following up an unusually bright X-ray transient in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2770. We present early optical spectra (obtained 1.75 days after the…
On the distribution of stellar masses in gamma-ray burst host galaxies
J. M. Castro Cerón, M. J. Michałowski, J. Hjorth +6
We analyse Spitzer images of 30 long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. We estimate their total stellar masses (M*) based on the rest-frame K-band luminosities (L_Krest)…
Strong Lensing in Abell 1703: Constraints on the Slope of the Inner Dark Matter Distribution
M. Limousin, J. Richard, J. -P. Kneib +9
In this article, we apply strong lensing techniques in Abell 1703, a massive X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z=0.28. Our analysis is based on imaging data both from space and grou…
