New insights into the nature of the SMC WR/LBV binary HD 5980
C. Foellmi, G. Koenigsberger, L. Georgiev +14
We present the results of optical wavelength observations of the unusual SMC eclipsing binary system HD 5980 obtained in 1999 and 2004--2005. Radial velocity curves for the eruptin…
The periodicity of the eta Carinae events
A. Damineli, M. F. Corcoran, D. J. Hillier +14
Extensive spectral observations of eta Carinae over the last cycle, and particularly around the 2003.5 low excitation event, have been obtained. The variability of both narrow and…
A Study of the Type Ia/IIn Supernova 2005gj from X-ray to the Infrared: Paper I
J. L. Prieto, P. M. Garnavich, M. M. Phillips +53
We present extensive ugrizYHJK photometry and optical spectroscopy of SN 2005gj obtained by the SDSS-II and CSP Supernova Projects, which give excellent coverage during the first 1…
Calibration of the Relationship between Precipitable Water Vapor and 225 GHz Atmospheric Opacity via Optical Echelle Spectroscopy at Las Campanas Observatory
Joanna Thomas-Osip, Andrew McWilliam, M. M. Phillips +4
We report precipitable water vapor (PWV) measurements made at Las Campanas Observatory using optical spectra of H2O lines obtained with the Magellan echelle spectrograph, and calcu…
SN 2005bf: A Possible Transition Event Between Type Ib/c Supernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts
Gaston Folatelli, Carlos Contreras, M. M. Phillips +22
We present u'g'r'i'BV photometry and optical spectroscopy of the Type Ib/Ic SN 2005bf covering the first ~100 days following discovery. The u'g'BV light curves displayed a double-p…
The Afterglows, Redshifts, and Properties of Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, S. R. Kulkarni, D. B. Fox +29
We present optical, near-IR, and radio follow up of sixteen Swift bursts, including our discovery of nine afterglows and a redshift determination for three. These observations, sup…
SB9: The Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits
D. Pourbaix, A. A. Tokovinin, A. H. Batten +6
The Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be) continues the series of compilations of spectroscopic orbits carried out over the past 35 years by B…
