Multi-wavelength observations of blazar AO 0235+164 in the 2008-2009 flaring state
M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, J. Ballet +208
The blazar AO 0235+164 (z = 0.94) has been one of the most active objects observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since its launch in Summer 2008. In addition to the continuou…
The origin of the early time optical emission of Swift GRB 080310
O. M. Littlejohns, R. Willingale, P. T. O'Brien +28
We present broadband multi-wavelength observations of GRB 080310 at redshift z = 2.43. This burst was bright and long-lived, and unusual in having extensive optical and near IR fol…
Swift and Fermi observations of the early afterglow of the short Gamma-Ray Burst 090510
M. De Pasquale, P. Schady, N. P. M. Kuin +11
We present the observations of GRB090510 performed by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope and the Swift observatory. This is a bright, short burst that shows an extended emission d…
Multi-Wavelength Properties of the Type IIb SN 2008ax
P. W. A. Roming, T. A. Pritchard, P. J. Brown +11
We present the UV, optical, X-ray, and radio properties of the Type IIb SN 2008ax discovered in NGC 4490. The observations in the UV are one of the earliest of a Type IIb supernova…
Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Results from the first year
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +12
Swift has allowed the possibility to give Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries discovered by INTEGRAL, non serendipitous attention th…
A statistical study of gamma-ray burst afterglows measured by the Swift Ultra-violet Optical Telescope
S. R. Oates, M. J. Page, P. Schady +14
We present the first statistical analysis of 27 UVOT optical/ultra-violet lightcurves of GRB afterglows. We have found, through analysis of the lightcurves in the observer's frame,…
