On the Source of the Dust Extinction in Type Ia Supernovae and the Discovery of Anomalously Strong Na I Absorption
M. M. Phillips, Joshua D. Simon, Nidia Morrell +28
High-dispersion observations of the Na I D 5890, 5896 and K I 7665, 7699 interstellar lines, and the diffuse interstellar band at 5780 Angstroms in the spectra of 32 Type Ia supern…
Keck Observations of 160 Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxies
Daniel A. Perley, Joshua S. Bloom, Jason X. Prochaska
We present a preliminary data release from our multi-year campaign at Keck Observatory to study the host galaxies of a large sample of Swift-era gamma-ray bursts via multi-color gr…
Gemini Spectroscopy of the Short GRB 130603B Afterglow and Host
A. Cucchiara, J. X. Prochaska, D. A. Perley +5
We present early optical photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow and host galaxy of the bright short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 130603B discovered by the Swift satellite. Us…
Radio Constraints on Heavily-Obscured Star-Formation within Dark Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxies
D. A. Perley, R. A. Perley
Highly dust-obscured starbursting galaxies (submillimeter galaxies and their ilk) represent the most extreme sites of star-formation in the distant universe and contribute signific…
Discovery of a Cosmological, Relativistic Outburst via its Rapidly Fading Optical Emission
S. Bradley Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni, Assaf Horesh +26
We report the discovery by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) of the transient source PTF11agg, which is distinguished by three primary characteristics: (1) bright, rapidly fading…
Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31
Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…
A Population of Massive, Luminous Galaxies Hosting Heavily Dust-Obscured Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for the Use of GRBs as Tracers of Cosmic Star Formation
D. A. Perley, A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir +13
We present observations and analysis of the host galaxies of 23 heavily dust-obscured gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Swift satellite during the years 2005-2009, representi…
