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…
A comprehensive study of GRB 070125, a most energetic gamma ray burst
Poonam Chandra, S. Bradley Cenko, Dale Frail +21
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of the bright, long duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070125, comprised of observations in -ray, X-ray, optical, millimeter and ce…
GRB 070201: A possible Soft Gamma Ray Repeater in M31
E. O. Ofek, M. Muno, R. Quimby +13
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) 070201 was a bright short-duration hard-spectrum GRB detected by the Inter-Planetary Network (IPN). Its error quadrilateral, which has an area of 0.124 sq…
GRB070125: The First Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst in a Halo Environment
S. B. Cenko, D. B. Fox, B. E. Penprase +15
We present the discovery and high signal-to-noise spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB070125. Unlike all previously observed…
