The nature of the late achromatic bump in GRB 120326A

A. Melandri, F. J. Virgili, C. Guidorzi +24

The long gamma-ray burst GRB 120326A at redshift exhibited a multi-band light curve with a striking feature: a late-time, long-lasting achromatic rebrighten…

SN 2011ht: Confirming a Class of Interacting Supernovae with Plateau Light Curves (Type IIn-P)

Jon C. Mauerhan, Nathan Smith, Jeffrey M. Silverman +6

We present photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2011ht, identified previously as a SN impostor. The light curve exhibits an abrupt transition from a well-defi…

Rapid, Machine-Learned Resource Allocation: Application to High-redshift GRB Follow-up

Adam N. Morgan, James Long, Joseph W. Richards +3

As the number of observed Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) continues to grow, follow-up resources need to be used more efficiently in order to maximize science output from limited telescope…

A faint optical flash in dust-obscured GRB 080603A - implications for GRB prompt emission mechanisms

C. Guidorzi, S. Kobayashi, D. A. Perley +23

We report the detection of a faint optical flash by the 2-m Faulkes Telescope North simultaneously with the second of two prompt gamma-ray pulses in INTEGRAL gamma-ray burst (GRB)…

Monster in the Dark: The Ultraluminous GRB 080607 and its Dusty Environment

Daniel A. Perley, A. N. Morgan, A. Updike +17

We present early-time optical through infrared photometry of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB 080607, starting only 6 s following the initial trigger in the rest frame. Complemented…

Paper II: Calibration of the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope

A. A. Breeveld, P. A. Curran, E. A. Hoversten +32

The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The photometric calibration has been published, and this paper follows up with d…
