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…
Broadband study of GRB 091127: a sub-energetic burst at higher redshift?
E. Troja, T. Sakamoto, C. Guidorzi +21
GRB 091127 is a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by Swift at a redshift z=0.49 and associated with SN 2009nz. We present the broadband analysis of the GRB prompt and afterglow…
Panchromatic observations of the textbook GRB 110205A: constraining physical mechanisms of prompt emission and afterglow
W. Zheng, R. F. Shen, T. Sakamoto +56
We present a comprehensive analysis of a bright, long duration (T90 ~ 257 s) GRB 110205A at redshift z= 2.22. The optical prompt emission was detected by Swift/UVOT, ROTSE-IIIb and…
PTF 10bzf (SN 2010ah): a broad-line Ic supernova discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
A. Corsi, E. O. Ofek, D. A. Frail +26
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of a broad-line type-Ic supernova (SN), PTF 10bzf (SN 2010ah), detected by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) on 2010 February…
