Modeling The GRB Host Galaxy Mass Distribution: Are GRBs Unbiased Tracers of Star Formation?
Daniel Kocevski, Andrew A. West, Maryam Modjaz
We model the mass distribution of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies given recent results suggesting that GRBs occur in low metallicity environments. By utilizing measurement…
Training the Next Generation of Astronomers
Peter K. G. Williams, Eric Huff, Holly Maness +28
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a…
CfA3: 185 Type Ia Supernova Light Curves from the CfA
Malcolm Hicken, Peter Challis, Saurabh Jha +5
We present multi-band photometry of 185 type-Ia supernovae (SN Ia), with over 11500 observations. These were acquired between 2001 and 2008 at the F. L. Whipple Observatory of the…
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…
The complex light-curve of the afterglow of GRB071010A
S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo, A. Klotz +51
We present and discuss the results of an extensive observational campaign devoted to GRB071010A, a long-duration gamma-ray burst detected by the Swift satellite. This event was fol…
Type Ia Supernovae are Good Standard Candles in the Near Infrared: Evidence from PAIRITEL
W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Andrew S. Friedman, Joshua S. Bloom +11
We have obtained 1087 NIR (JHKs) measurements of 21 SNe Ia using PAIRITEL, nearly doubling the number of well-sampled NIR SN Ia light curves. These data strengthen the evidence tha…
