The First Systematic Study of Type Ibc Supernova Multi-band Light Curves
Maria R. Drout, Alicia M. Soderberg, A. Gal-Yam +7
We present detailed optical photometry for 25 Type Ibc supernovae within d\approx150 Mpc obtained with the robotic Palomar 60-inch telescope in 2004-2007. This study represents the…
A faint type of supernova from a white dwarf with a helium-rich companion
H. B. Perets, A. Gal-Yam, P. Mazzali +25
Supernovae (SNe) are thought to arise from two different physical processes. The cores of massive, short-lived stars undergo gravitational core collapse and typically eject a few s…
The Collimation and Energetics of the Brightest Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
S. B. Cenko, D. A. Frail, F. A. Harrison +22
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are widely believed to be highly-collimated explosions (opening angle theta ~ 1-10 deg). As a result of this beaming factor, the true energy r…
An unusually brilliant transient in the galaxy Messier 85
S. R. Kulkarni, E. O. Ofek, A. Rau +11
Historically, variable and transient sources have both surprised astronomers and provided new views of the heavens. Here we report the discovery of an optical transient in the outs…
The gamma-ray burst GRB060614 requires a novel explosive process
A. Gal-Yam, D. Fox, P. Price +26
Over the past decade our physical understanding of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has progressed rapidly thanks to the discovery and observation of their long-lived afterglow emission. Lo…
A Spectacular Radio Flare from XRF 050416a at 40 days and Implications for the Nature of X-ray Flashes
A. M. Soderberg, E. Nakar, S. B. Cenko +26
We present detailed optical, near-infrared, and radio observations of the X-ray flash 050416a obtained with Palomar and Siding Springs Observatories as well as HST and the VLA, pla…
