A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, A. J. Drake +8
Exploration of the time domain - variable and transient objects and phenomena - is rapidly becoming a vibrant research frontier, touching on essentially every field of astronomy an…
SN 2008jb: A "Lost" Core-Collapse Supernova in a Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxy at ~10 Mpc
Jose L. Prieto, J. C. Lee, A. J. Drake +9
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of SN 2008jb, a core-collapse supernova in the dwarf irregular galaxy ESO 302-14 at 9.6 Mpc. This transient was missed by galaxy…
The Discovery and Nature of Optical Transient CSS100217:102913+404220
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +32
We report on the discovery and observations of the extremely luminous optical transient CSS100217:102913+404220 (CSS100217 hereafter). Spectroscopic observations show this transien…
