Early spectroscopic identification of SN 2008D
D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +27
SN 2008D was discovered while following up an unusually bright X-ray transient in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2770. We present early optical spectra (obtained 1.75 days after the…
GRB 060121: Implications of a Short/Intermediate Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at High Redshift
A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. J. Castro-Tirado, S. Guziy +23
Since the discovery of the first short-hard gamma-ray burst afterglows in 2005, the handful of observed events have been found to be embedded in nearby (z < 1), bright underlying g…
Discovery and identification of the very high redshift afterglow of GRB 050904
J. Haislip, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart +39
In 2000, Lamb and Reichart predicted that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows occur in sufficient numbers and at sufficient brightnesses at very high redshifts (z > 5) to…
PROMPT: Panchromatic Robotic Optical Monitoring and Polarimetry Telescopes
D. Reichart, M. Nysewander, J. Moran +11
Funded by $1.2M in grants and donations, we are now building PROMPT at CTIO. When completed in late 2005, PROMPT will consist of six 0.41-meter diameter Ritchey-Chretien telescopes…
