Early-time VLA observations and broad-band afterglow analysis of the Fermi-LAT detected GRB 130907A
Péter Veres, Alessandra Corsi, Dale A. Frail +2
We present multi-wavelength observations of the hyper-energetic gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130907A, a Swift-discovered burst with early radio observations starting at hr aft…
The hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova iPTF13ajg and its host galaxy in absorption and emission
Paul M. Vreeswijk, Sandra Savaglio, Avishay Gal-Yam +24
We present imaging and spectroscopy of a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory: iPTF13ajg. At a redshift of z=0.7403…
Slow-Speed Supernovae from the Palomar Transient Factory: Two Channels
Christopher J. White, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Peter E. Nugent +20
Since the discovery of the unusual prototype SN 2002cx, the eponymous class of low-velocity, hydrogen-poor supernovae has grown to include at most another two dozen members identif…
Optical Follow-Up Observations of PTF10qts, a Luminous Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernova Found by the Palomar Transient Factory
E. S. Walker, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +22
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SNIc-BL) PTF10qts, which was discovered as part of the Palomar Transient Factory. The supernova…
A Continuum of H- to He-Rich Tidal Disruption Candidates With a Preference for E+A Galaxies
Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, Mark Sullivan +23
We present the results of a Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) archival search for blue transients which lie in the magnitude range between "normal" core-collapse and superluminous su…
The rise and fall of the Type Ib supernova iPTF13bvn - Not a massive Wolf-Rayet star
C. Fremling, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +9
We investigate iPTF13bvn, a core-collapse (CC) supernova (SN) in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5806. This object was discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory very so…
