A New Determination of the High Redshift Type Ia Supernova Rates with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys
N. Kuznetsova, K. Barbary, B. Connolly +27
We present a new measurement of the volumetric rate of Type Ia supernova up to a redshift of 1.7, using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) GOODS data combined with an additional HST…
GRB051022: physical parameters and extinction of a prototype dark burst
Evert Rol, Alexander van der Horst, Klaas Wiersema +19
GRB051022 was undetected to deep limits in early optical observations, but precise astrometry from radio and X-ray showed that it most likely originated in a galaxy at z~0.8. We re…
The light curve of the companion to PSR B1957+20
Mark Reynolds, Paul Callanan, Andrew Fruchter +3
We present a new analysis of the light curve for the secondary star in the eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar system PSR B1957+20. Combining previous data and new data points at m…
Progenitors of Long Gamma-ray Bursts
Melvyn B. Davies, Andrew J. Levan, Josefin Larsson +2
Pinpointing the progenitors of long duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) remains an extremely important question, although it is now clear that at least a fraction of LGRBs originate…
Spatially resolved properties of the GRB 060505 host: implications for the nature of the progenitor
Christina C. Thoene, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Goeran Oestlin +12
GRB 060505 was the first well-observed nearby possible long-duration GRB that had no associated supernova. Here we present spatially resolved spectra of the host galaxy of GRB 0605…
A new constraint for gamma-ray burst progenitor mass
Josefin Larsson, Andrew J. Levan, Melvyn B. Davies +1
Recent comparative observations of long duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and core collapse supernovae (cc SN) host galaxies demonstrate that these two, highly energetic transient…
