Resolving the Stellar Population of the Standard Elliptical Galaxy NGC3379
Michael D. Gregg, Henry C. Ferguson, Dante Minniti +2
Using the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope, we have obtained F110W (J-band) and F160W (H-band) images of three fields…
Discovery of the Faint Near-IR Afterglow of GRB 030528
A. Rau, J. Greiner, S. Klose +7
We report on the discovery of the near-IR transient of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030528 and its underlying host galaxy. The near-IR transient was first observed in JHKs…
Intergalactic Globular Clusters
Michael J. West, Patrick Cote, Henry C. Ferguson +5
We confirm and extend our previous detection of a population of intergalactic globular clusters in Abell 1185, and report the first discovery of an intergalactic globular cluster i…
The extra-galactic Cepheid distance scale from LMC and Galactic period-luminosity relations
S. M. Kanbur, C. Ngeow, S. Nikolaev +2
In this paper, we recalibrate the Cepheid distance to some nearby galaxies observed by the HST Key Project (KP) and the Sandage-Tammann-Saha (STS) group. We use much of the KP meth…
The afterglow and the host galaxy of GRB 011211
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, J. P. U. Fynbo +19
We present optical, near-infrared, and X-ray observations of the optical afterglow (OA) of the X-ray rich, long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 011211. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) da…
Variable polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB 021004
E. Rol, R. A. M. J. Wijers, J. P. U. Fynbo +19
We present polarimetric observations of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 021004, obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) between 8…
A very energetic supernova associated with the gamma-ray burst of 29 March 2003
Jens Hjorth, Jesper Sollerman, Palle Møller +24
Over the past five years evidence has mounted that long-duration (> 2 s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)--the most brilliant of all astronomical explosions--signal the collapse of massive…
The Cepheid Distance to NGC 1637: A Direct Test of the EPM Distance to SN 1999em
Douglas C. Leonard, Shashi M. Kanbur, Choong C. Ngeow +1
Type II-plateau supernovae (SNe II-P) are the classic variety of core-collapse events that result from isolated, massive stars with thick hydrogen envelopes intact at the time of e…
Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB020405 afterglow
N. Masetti, E. Palazzi, E. Pian +33
(Abridged) We report on observations of the optical and NIR afterglow of GRB020405. Ground-based optical observations started about 1 day after the GRB and spanned a period of ~10…
One Ring to Encompass them All: A giant stellar structure that surrounds the Galaxy
R. A. Ibata, M. J. Irwin, G. F. Lewis +2
We present evidence that the curious stellar population found by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in the Galactic anticentre direction extends to other distant fields that skirt the pl…
