Investigation of Primordial Black Hole Bursts using Interplanetary Network Gamma-ray Bursts

T. N. Ukwatta, K. Hurley, J. H MacGibbon +22

The detection of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) in the solar neighborhood would have very important implications for GRB phenomenology. The leading theories for cosmological GRBs would no…

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 Missing-Link in the Supernova-GRB Connection: The Case of SN 2012ap

Sayan Chakraborti, Alicia Soderberg, Laura Chomiuk +50

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are characterized by ultra-relativistic outflows, while supernovae are generally characterized by non-relativistic ejecta. GRB afterglows decelerate rapidly…

The ultraluminous GRB 110918A

D. D. Frederiks, K. Hurley, D. S. Svinkin +29

GRB 110918A is the brightest long GRB detected by Konus-WIND during its 19 years of continuous observations and the most luminous GRB ever observed since the beginning of the cosmo…

The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the Fermi GBM Catalog of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts

K. Hurley, V. D. Pal'shin, R. L. Aptekar +37

We present Interplanetary Network (IPN) data for the gamma-ray bursts in the first Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) catalog. Of the 491 bursts in that catalog, covering 2008 Jul…

Inverse Compton X-ray Emission from Supernovae with Compact Progenitors: Application to SN2011fe

R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg, L. Chomiuk +35

We present a generalized analytic formalism for the inverse Compton X-ray emission from hydrogen-poor supernovae and apply this framework to SN2011fe using Swift-XRT, UVOT and Chan…
