Late-time observations of SN2006gy: Still Going Strong
Nathan Smith, Ryan J. Foley, Joshua S. Bloom +9
Owing to its extremely high luminosity and long duration, SN2006gy radiated more energy in visual light than any other known SN. Two hypotheses to explain its high luminosity -- th…
Measuring the Mass of a Pre-Main Sequence Binary Star Through the Orbit of TWA 5A
Q. M. Konopacky, A. M. Ghez, G. Duchene +2
We present the results of a five year monitoring campaign of the close binary TWA 5Aab in the TW Hydrae association, using speckle and adaptive optics on the W.M. Keck 10 m telesco…
A contemporaneous infrared flash from a long gamma-ray burst: an echo from the central engine
C. H. Blake, J. S. Bloom, D. L. Starr +25
The explosion that results in a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to produce emission from two physical processes -- the activity of the central engine gives rise to the high…
HD 199143 and HD 358623: Two Recently Identified Members of the Beta Pictoris Moving Group
D. Kaisler, B. Zuckerman, I. Song +5
HD 199143 and HD 358623 (BD-17 6128) are two sets of binary stars which are physically associated and 48 pc from Earth. We present heliocentric radial velocities and high lithium a…
An HST Search for Lyman Continuum Emission From Galaxies at z=1.1--1.4
Matthew Malkan, Wayne Webb, Quinn Konopacky
If enough of their Lyman limit continuum escapes, star-forming galaxies could be significant contributors to the cosmic background of ionizing photons. To investigate this possibil…
Deep Keck adaptive optics searches for extrasolar planets in the dust of Epsilon Eridani and Vega
Bruce A. Macintosh, E. E. Becklin, Denise Kaisler +2
A significant population of nearby stars have strong far-infrared excesses, now known to be due to circumstellar dust in regions analogous to the Kuiper Belt of our solar system, t…
