An Upper Mass Limit on a Red Supergiant Progenitor for the Type II-Plateau Supernova SN 2006my
Douglas C. Leonard, Avishay Gal-Yam, Derek B. Fox +5
We analyze two pre-supernova (SN) and three post-SN high-resolution images of the site of the Type II-Plateau supernova SN 2006my in an effort to either detect the progenitor star…
SN2007ax : An Extremely Faint Type Ia Supernova
M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +8
We present multi-band photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of SN2007ax, the faintest and reddest Type Ia supernova (SNIa) yet observed. With M_B = -15.9 and (B-V)max…
Precision Astrometry with Adaptive Optics
P. B. Cameron, M. C. Britton, S. R. Kulkarni
We investigate the limits of ground-based astrometry with adaptive optics using the core of the Galactic globular cluster M5. Adaptive optics systems provide near diffraction-limit…
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…
Near-Infrared and X-ray Observations of the Enigmatic G70.7+1.2
P. B. Cameron, S. R. Kulkarni
We present high resolution imaging of the puzzling radio and optical nebula G70.7+1.2 with the Keck Observatory's laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS-AO) system and the Chandra X…
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…
