1 um Excess Sources in the UKIDSS - I. Three T Dwarfs in the SDSS Southern Equatorial Stripe
Y. Matsuoka, B. A. Peterson, K. L. Murata +8
We report the discovery of two field brown dwarfs, ULAS J0128-0041 and ULAS J0321+0051, and the rediscovery of ULAS J0226+0051 (IfA 0230-Z1), in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)…
The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Final Redshift Release (DR3) and Southern Large-Scale Structures
D. Heath Jones, Mike A. Read, Will Saunders +30
We report the final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey, a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b|>10 deg). Its 136,304 spectra have yielded…
A New Population of High Redshift Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, P. A. Price +23
The redshift distribution of the short-duration GRBs is a crucial, but currently fragmentary, clue to the nature of their progenitors. Here we present optical observations of nine…
The Afterglows, Redshifts, and Properties of Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, S. R. Kulkarni, D. B. Fox +29
We present optical, near-IR, and radio follow up of sixteen Swift bursts, including our discovery of nine afterglows and a redshift determination for three. These observations, sup…
Discovery of Early Optical Emission from GRB 021211
D. W. Fox, P. A. Price, A. M. Soderberg +11
We report our discovery and early time optical, near-infrared, and radio wavelength follow-up observations of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 021211. Our optical observati…
FLASH redshift survey - I. Observations and Catalogue
Raven Kaldare, Matthew Colless, Somak Raychaudhury +1
The FLAIR Shapley-Hydra (FLASH) redshift survey catalogue consists of 4613 galaxies brighter than $\bJ = 16.7$ (corrected for Galactic extinction) over a 605 sq. degree region of s…
