Modeling the host galaxies of long-duration gamma-ray bursts
Emily M. Levesque
We present the first results of our investigation into the ISM environments of long-duration GRB (LGRB) host galaxies. We apply a new suite of stellar population synthesis and phot…
The Physical Properties of Red Supergiants
Emily M. Levesque
Red supergiants (RSGs) are an evolved He-burning phase in the lifetimes of moderately high mass (10 - 25 solar mass) stars. The physical properties of these stars mark them as an i…
The High-Metallicity Explosion Environment of the Relativistic Supernova 2009bb
E. M. Levesque, A. M. Soderberg, R. J. Foley +23
We investigate the environment of the nearby (d ~ 40Mpc) broad-lined Type Ic supernova SN 2009bb. This event was observed to produce a relativistic outflow likely powered by a cent…
A Relativistic Type Ibc Supernova Without a Detected Gamma-ray Burst
A. M. Soderberg, S. Chakraborti, G. Pignata +21
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) mark the explosive death of some massive stars and are a rare sub-class of Type Ibc supernovae (SNe Ibc). They are distinguished by the produc…
Theoretical Modeling of Star-Forming Galaxies I. Emission Line Diagnostic Grids for Local and Low-Metallicity Galaxies
Emily M. Levesque, Lisa J. Kewley, Kirsten L. Larson
We use the newest generation of the Starburst99/Mappings code to generate an extensive suite of models to facilitate detailed studies of star-forming galaxies and their ISM propert…
Red Supergiants in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31)
Philip Massey, David R. Silva, Emily M. Levesque +5
Red supergiants are a short-lived stage in the evolution of moderately massive stars (10-25Mo), and as such their location in the H-R diagram provides an exacting test of stellar e…
