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…

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…

The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the HETE-2 Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

K. Hurley, J. -L. Atteia, C. Barraud +43

Between 2000 November and 2006 May, one or more spacecraft of the interplanetary network (IPN) detected 226 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were also detected by the FREGATE experimen…

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on the Swift MIDEX Mission

S. D. Barthelmy, L. M. Barbier, J. R. Cummings +12

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is one of 3 instruments on the Swift MIDEX spacecraft to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The BAT first detects the GRB and localizes the burst direct…

A short gamma-ray burst apparently asssociated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z=0.225

N. Gehrels

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright, brief flashes of high energy photons that have fascinated scientists for 30 years. They come in two classes: long (>2 s), softspectrum bursts an…

Multiwavelength Monitoring of the BL Lacertae Object PKS 2155-304 in May 1994. III. Probing the Inner Jet through Multiwavelength Correlations

C. Megan Urry, A. Treves, L. Maraschi +16

In May 1994 the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304 was observed continuously for ~10 d with IUE and EUVE and for 2 d with ASCA, as well as with ROSAT and with ground- based radio, IR, and…
