SN 2006gy: An extremely luminous supernova in the galaxy NGC 1260
E. O. Ofek, P. B. Cameron, M. M. Kasliwal +8
With an extinction-corrected V-band peak absolute magnitude of about -22, supernova (SN) 2006gy is probably the brightest SN ever observed. We report on multi-wavelength observatio…
The Incidence of Dwarf Novae in Large Area Transient Searches
A. Rau, R. Schwarz, S. R. Kulkarni +6
Understanding and quantifying the contribution of known classes of transient and variable sources is an important lesson to be learned from the manifold of pre-cursors programs of…
Multi-Wavelength Observations of GRB 050820A: An Exceptionally Energetic Event Followed from Start to Finish
S. B. Cenko, M. Kasliwal, F. A. Harrison +25
We present observations of the unusually bright and long gamma-ray burst GRB 050820A, one of the best-sampled broadband data sets in the Swift era. The gamma-ray light curve is mar…
An Energetic Afterglow From A Distant Stellar Explosion
D. A. Frail, P. B. Cameron, M. Kasliwal +10
We present the discovery of radio afterglow emission from the high redshift (z=6.295) burst GRB 050904. The peak flux density for this burst is similar to typical low-redshift gamm…
Relativistic ejecta from XRF 060218 and the rate of cosmic explosions
A. M. Soderberg, S. R. Kulkarni, E. Nakar +22
Over the last decade, long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the subclass of X-ray flashes (XRFs) have been revealed to be a rare variety of Type Ibc supernova (SN). While…
The Afterglow, Energetics and Host Galaxy of the Short-Hard Gamma-Ray Burst 051221a
A. M. Soderberg, E. Berger, M. Kasliwal +9
We present detailed optical, X-ray and radio observations of the bright afterglow of the short gamma-ray burst 051221a obtained with Gemini, Swift/XRT, and the Very Large Array, as…
