The redshift and afterglow of the extremely energetic gamma-ray burst GRB 080916C
J. Greiner, C. Clemens, T. Kruehler +22
The detection of GeV photons from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has important consequences for the interpretation and modelling of these most-energetic cosmological explosions. The full…
GRB 071003: Broadband Follow-up Observations of a Very Bright Gamma-Ray Burst in a Galactic Halo
D. A. Perley, W. Li, R. Chornock +26
The optical afterglow of long-duration GRB 071003 is among the brightest yet to be detected from any GRB, with R ~ 12 mag in KAIT observations starting 42 s after the GRB trigger,…
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…
GRB Fireball Physics: Prompt and Early Emission
D. B. Fox, P. Meszaros
We review the fireball shock model of gamma-ray burst prompt and early afterglow emission in light of rapid follow-up measurements made and enabled by the multi-wavelength Swift sa…
The Automated Palomar 60-Inch Telescope
S. Bradley Cenko, Derek B. Fox, Dae-Sik Moon +13
We have converted the Palomar 60-inch telescope (P60) from a classical night assistant-operated telescope to a fully robotic facility. The automated system, which has been operatio…
