Near-Ultraviolet Properties of a Large Sample of Type Ia Supernovae as Observed with the Swift UVOT
Peter A. Milne, Peter J. Brown, Peter W. A. Roming +15
We present ultraviolet (UV) and optical photometry of 26 Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) observed from March 2005 to March 2008 with the NASA {\it Swift} Ultraviolet and Optical Telesc…
The Absolute Magnitudes of Type Ia Supernovae in the Ultraviolet
Peter J. Brown, Peter W. A. Roming, Peter Milne +19
We examine the absolute magnitudes and light-curve shapes of 14 nearby(redshift z = 0.004--0.027) Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) observed in the ultraviolet (UV) with the Swift Ultrav…
Spectra of Type Ia Supernovae from Double Degenerate Mergers
Chris L. Fryer, Ashley J. Ruiter, Krzysztof Belczynski +13
The merger of two white dwarfs (a.k.a. double degenerate merger) has often been cited as a potential progenitor of type Ia supernovae. Here we combine population synthesis, merger…
GRB 090417B and its Host Galaxy: A Step Towards an Understanding of Optically-Dark Gamma-Ray Bursts
Stephen T. Holland, Boris Sbarufatti, Rongfeng Shen +10
GRB 090417B was an unusually long burst with a T_90 duration of at least 2130 s and a multi-peaked light curve at energies of 15-150 keV. It was optically dark and has been associa…
Discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D with an associated supernova
R. L. C. Starling, K. Wiersema, A. J. Levan +43
We report the Swift discovery of nearby long, soft gamma-ray burst GRB 100316D, and the subsequent unveiling of its low redshift host galaxy and associated supernova. We derive the…
