Jeans analysis of the Galactic thick disk and the local dark matter density
F. J. Sanchez-Salcedo, C. Flynn, J. A. de Diego
Dynamical estimates of the mass surface density at the solar radius can be made up to a height of 4 kpc using thick disk stars as tracers of the potential. We investigate why diffe…
Happy Birthday Swift: Ultra-long GRB141121A and its broad-band Afterglow
A. Cucchiara, P. Veres, A. Corsi +27
We present our extensive observational campaign on the Swift-discovered GRB141121A, al- most ten years after its launch. Our observations covers radio through X-rays, and extends f…
Mapping optically variable quasars towards the galactic plane
J. G. Fernandez-Trincado, T. Verdugo, C. Reylé +13
We present preliminary results of the CIDA Equatorial Variability Survey (CEVS), looking for quasar (hereafter QSO) candidates near the Galactic plane. The CEVS contains photometri…
The central engine of GRB 130831A and the energy breakdown of a relativistic explosion
M. De Pasquale, S. R. Oates, J. L. Racusin +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions in the universe, yet the nature and physical properties of their energy sources are far from understood. Very important clu…
Nature of Intra-night Optical Variability of BL Lacertae
Haritma Gaur, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +13
We present the results of extensive multi-band intra-night optical monitoring of BL Lacertae during 2010--2012. BL Lacertae was very active in this period and showed intense variab…
Optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2013dx associated with GRB 130702A
V. L. Toy, S. B. Cenko, J. M. Silverman +33
We present optical and near-infrared light curves and optical spectra of SN 2013dx, associated with the nearby (redshift 0.145) gamma-ray burst GRB 130702A. The prompt isotropic ga…
Testing microvariability in quasar differential light curves using several field stars
J. A. de Diego, J. Polednikova, A. Bongiovanni +4
Microvariability consists in small time scale variations of low amplitude in the photometric light curves of quasars, and represents an important tool to investigate their inner co…
