Discovery of a Cosmological, Relativistic Outburst via its Rapidly Fading Optical Emission
S. Bradley Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni, Assaf Horesh +26
We report the discovery by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) of the transient source PTF11agg, which is distinguished by three primary characteristics: (1) bright, rapidly fading…
A Population of Massive, Luminous Galaxies Hosting Heavily Dust-Obscured Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for the Use of GRBs as Tracers of Cosmic Star Formation
D. A. Perley, A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir +13
We present observations and analysis of the host galaxies of 23 heavily dust-obscured gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Swift satellite during the years 2005-2009, representi…
The properties of the 2175AA extinction feature discovered in GRB afterglows
Tayyaba Zafar, Darach Watson, Ardis Eliasdottir +10
The unequivocal, spectroscopic detection of the 2175 bump in extinction curves outside the Local Group is rare. To date, the properties of the bump have been examined in only two G…
VLBI observations of SN 2008iz: I. Expansion velocity and limits on anisotropic expansion
A. Brunthaler, I. Marti-Vidal, K. M. Menten +9
We present observations of the recently discovered supernova 2008iz in M82 with the VLBI High Sensitivity Array at 22 GHz, the Very Large Array at frequencies of 1.4, 4.8, 8.4, 22…
