The Luminous Infrared Host Galaxy of Short-Duration GRB 100206A
Daniel A. Perley, M. Modjaz, A. N. Morgan +5
The known host galaxies of short-hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to date are characterized by low to moderate star-formation rates and a broad range of stellar masses. In this paper,…
Constraints on the Progenitor System of the Type Ia Supernova SN 2011fe/PTF11kly
Weidong Li, Joshua S. Bloom, Philipp Podsiadlowski +25
Type Ia supernovae (SNe) serve as a fundamental pillar of modern cosmology, owing to their large luminosity and a well-defined relationship between light-curve shape and peak brigh…
SN2010jp (PTF10aaxi): A Jet-Driven Type II Supernova
Nathan Smith, S. Bradley Cenko, Nat Butler +18
We present photometry and spectroscopy of the peculiar TypeII supernova (SN) 2010jp, also named PTF10aaxi. The light curve exhibits a linear decline with a relatively low peak abso…
Swift J2058.4+0516: Discovery of a Possible Second Relativistic Tidal Disruption Flare?
S. Bradley Cenko, Hans A. Krimm, Assaf Horesh +18
We report the discovery by the Swift hard X-ray monitor of the transient source Swift J2058.4+0516 (Sw J2058+05). Our multi-wavelength follow-up campaign uncovered a long-lived (du…
Automating Discovery and Classification of Transients and Variable Stars in the Synoptic Survey Era
J. S. Bloom, J. W. Richards, P. E. Nugent +10
The rate of image acquisition in modern synoptic imaging surveys has already begun to outpace the feasibility of keeping astronomers in the real-time discovery and classification l…
An extremely luminous panchromatic outburst from the nucleus of a distant galaxy
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, S. B. Cenko +58
Variable X-ray and gamma-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe, and studying the sources of these energetic photons has been a major…
