Endurance of SN 2005ip after a decade: X-rays, radio, and H-alpha like SN 1988Z require long-lived pre-supernova mass loss
Nathan Smith, Charles D. Kilpatrick, Jon C. Mauerhan +8
SN2005ip was a TypeIIn event notable for its sustained strong interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), coronal emission lines, and IR excess, interpreted as shock interaction…
Maximizing Science in the Era of LSST: A Community-Based Study of Needed US Capabilities
Joan Najita, Beth Willman, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +48
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a discovery machine for the astronomy and physics communities, revealing astrophysical phenomena from the Solar System to the out…
The Afterglow and Early-Type Host Galaxy of the Short GRB 150101B at z=0.1343
Wen-fai Fong, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +14
We present the discovery of the X-ray and optical afterglows of the short-duration GRB 150101B, pinpointing the event to an early-type host galaxy at z=0.1343 +/- 0.0030. This make…
Radio Constraints on Long-Lived Magnetar Remnants in Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
Wen-fai Fong, Brian D. Metzger, Edo Berger +1
The merger of a neutron star binary may result in the formation of a rapidly-spinning magnetar. The magnetar can potentially survive for seconds or longer as a supramassive neutron…
A Reverse Shock in GRB 160509A
Tanmoy Laskar, Kate D. Alexander, Edo Berger +12
We present the second multi-frequency radio detection of a reverse shock in a -ray burst. By combining our extensive radio observations of the Fermi-LAT GRB 160509A at $z = 1.17…
A DECam Search for an Optical Counterpart to the LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW151226
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, M. Soares-Santos +97
We report the results of a Dark Energy Camera (DECam) optical follow-up of the gravitational wave (GW) event GW151226, discovered by the Advanced LIGO detectors. Our observations c…
