Multi-wavelength Observations of the Type IIb Supernova 2009mg
S. R. Oates, A. J. Bayless, M. D. Stritzinger +11
We present Swift UVOT and XRT observations, and visual wavelength spectroscopy of the Type IIb supernova (SN) 2009mg, discovered in the Sb galaxy ESO 121-G26. The observational pro…
Swift X-Ray Upper Limits on Type Ia Supernova Environments
Brock R. Russell, Stefan Immler
We have considered 53 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT). None of the SNe Ia are individually detected at any time or in stacked images. Using…
Sn 2008in - bridging the gap between normal and faint supernovae of type IIP
Rupak Roy, Brijesh Kumar, Stefano Benetti +18
We present optical photometric and low-resolution spectroscopic observations of the Type II plateau supernova (SN) 2008in, which occurred in the outskirts of the nearly face-on spi…
GRB 080319B: A Naked-Eye Stellar Blast from the Distant Universe
J. L. Racusin, S. V. Karpov, M. Sokolowski +81
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and so provide a window into the process of black hole formation…
Supernova 1996cr: SN 1987A's Wild Cousin?
F. E. Bauer, V. V. Dwarkadas, W. N. Brandt +4
We report on new VLT optical spectroscopic and multi-wavelength archival observations of SN1996cr, a previously identified ULX known as Circinus Galaxy X-2. Our optical spectrum co…
Swift and Chandra Detections of Supernova 2006jc: Evidence for Interaction of the Supernova Shock with a Circumstellar Shell
S. Immler, M. Modjaz, W. Landsman +20
The peculiar Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc has been observed with the UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Swift observatory over a period of 19 to 18…
