The Host Galaxies of Swift Dark Gamma-Ray Bursts: Observational Constraints on Highly Obscured and Very High-Redshift GRBs
D. A. Perley, S. B. Cenko, J. S. Bloom +13
In this work we present the first results of our imaging campaign at Keck Observatory to identify the host galaxies of "dark" gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), events with no detected optic…
Transients in the Local Universe
S. R. Kulkarni, M. M. Kasliwal
Two different reasons make the search for transients in the nearby Universe (d < 200 Mpc) interesting and urgent. First, there exists a large gap in the luminosity of the brightest…
M31N 2007-11d: A Slowly-Rising, Luminous Nova in M31
A. W. Shafter, A. Rau, R. M. Quimby +4
We report a series of extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the luminous M31 nova M31N 2007-11d. Our photometric observations coupled with previous measurements s…
The type IIb SN 2008ax: spectral and light curve evolution
A. Pastorello, M. M. Kasliwal, R. M. Crockett +12
We present spectroscopy and photometry of the He-rich supernova (SN) 2008ax. The early-time spectra show prominent P-Cygni H lines, which decrease with time and disappear completel…
The type IIb SN 2008ax: the nature of the progenitor
R. M. Crockett, J. J. Eldridge, S. J. Smartt +9
A source coincident with the position of the type IIb supernova (SN) 2008ax is identified in pre-explosion Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 observations i…
GRB070610 : A Curious Galactic Transient
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +23
GRB 070610 is a typical high-energy event with a duration of 5s.Yet within the burst localization we detect a highly unusual X-ray and optical transient, SwiftJ195509.6+261406. We…
