The GRB/SN Connection: An Improved Spectral Flux Distribution for the SN-Like Component to the Afterglow of GRB 970228, the Non-Detection of a SN-Like Component to the Afterglow of GRB 990510, and GRBs as Beacons to Locate SNe at Redshifts z = 4 - 5

Daniel E. Reichart, Donald Q. Lamb, Francisco J. Castander

We better determine the spectral flux distribution of the supernova candidate associated with GRB 970228 by modeling the spectral flux distribution of the host galaxy of this burst…

The Low Resolution Spectrograph of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope II. Observations of Quasar Candidates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

D. P. Schneider, Gary J. Hill, X. Fan +1

This paper describes spectra of quasar candidates acquired during the commissioning phase of the Low-Resolution Spectrograph of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The objects were identif…

High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data II: The Spring Equatorial Stripe

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

This is the second paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the Sloan Digital Sky Sur…

The Discovery of a High-redshift Quasar without Emission Lines from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

We report observations of a luminous unresolved object at redshift z = 4.62, with a featureless optical spectrum redward of the Lyman alpha forest region, discovered from Sloan Dig…

L Dwarfs Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Imaging Data

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

This paper describes the discovery of seven dwarf objects of spectral type `L' (objects cooler than the latest M dwarfs) in commissioning imaging data taken by the Sloan Digital Sk…

GRB 970228 and GRB 980329 and the Nature of Their Host Galaxie

D. Q. Lamb, Francisco J. Castander, Daniel E. Reichart

We find that the local galactic extinction towards the field of gamma-ray burst GRB970228 is , which implies a substantial dimming and change in the spect…
