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,…
An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova
A. M. Soderberg, E. Berger, K. L. Page +40
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions, supernovae, that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Throughout history supernovae were discovered ch…
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…
Detection of circumstellar material in a normal Type Ia Supernova
F. Patat, P. Chandra, R. Chevalier +19
Type Ia supernovae are thought to be thermonuclear explosions of accreting white dwarfs that reach a critical mass limit. Despite their importance as cosmological distance indicato…
