Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Fifth Image of SDSS J1004+4112 and Implications for the M_BH-sigma_* Relation at z=0.68
Naohisa Inada, Masamune Oguri, Emilio E. Falco +5
We present the results of deep spectroscopy for the central region of the cluster lens SDSS J1004+4112 with the Subaru telescope. A secure detection of an emission line of the fain…
The MEarth project: searching for transiting habitable super-Earths around nearby M-dwarfs
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Philip Nutzman +1
Due to their small radii, M-dwarfs are very promising targets to search for transiting super-Earths, with a planet of 2 Earth radii orbiting an M5 dwarf in the habitable zone givin…
Near Infrared Monitoring of Ultracool Dwarfs: Prospects for Searching for Transiting Companions
Cullen H. Blake, Joshua S. Bloom, David W. Latham +4
Stars of late-M and L spectral types, collectively known as Ultracool Dwarfs (UCDs), may be excellent targets for searches for extrasolar planets. Owing to their small radii, the s…
The Rapidly Flaring Afterglow of the Very Bright and Energetic GRB 070125
Adria C. Updike, Joshua B. Haislip, Melissa C. Nysewander +52
We report on multi-wavelength observations, ranging from the X-ray to radio wave bands, of the IPN-localized gamma-ray burst GRB 070125. Spectroscopic observations reveal the prese…
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…
The SDSS Discovery of a Strongly Lensed Post-Starburst Galaxy at z=0.766
Min-Su Shin, Michael A. Strauss, Masamune Oguri +4
We present the first result of a survey for strong galaxy-galaxy lenses in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images. SDSS J082728.70+223256.4 was selected as a lensing candidate usin…
Optical Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae
T. Matheson, R. P. Kirshner, P. Challis +19
We present 432 low-dispersion optical spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that also have well-calibrated light curves. The coverage ranges from 6 epochs to 36 epochs of spect…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses VII. Time delays and the Hubble constant from WFI J2033-4723
C. Vuissoz, F. Courbin, D. Sluse +10
Gravitationally lensed quasars can be used to map the mass distribution in lensing galaxies and to estimate the Hubble constant H0 by measuring the time delays between the quasar i…
X-Ray and Optical Microlensing in the Lensed Quasar PG 1115+080
Christopher W. Morgan, Christopher S. Kochanek, Xinyu Dai +2
We analyzed the microlensing of the X-ray and optical emission of the lensed quasar PG 1115+080. We find that the effective radius of the X-ray emission is 1.3(+1.1 -0.5) dex small…
The Third Image of the Large-Separation Lensed Quasar SDSS J1029+2623
Masamune Oguri, Eran O. Ofek, Naohisa Inada +6
We identify a third image in the unique quasar lens SDSS J1029+2623, the second known quasar lens produced by a massive cluster of galaxies. The spectrum of the third image shows s…
