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…
