Comparative Analysis of SN 2012dn Optical Spectra: Days -14 to +114
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, R. A. Fesen +19
SN 2012dn is a super-Chandrasekhar mass candidate in a purportedly normal spiral (SAcd) galaxy, and poses a challenge for theories of type Ia supernova diversity. Here we utilize t…
A panchromatic view of the restless SN2009ip reveals the explosive ejection of a massive star envelope
R. Margutti, D. Milisavljevic, A. M. Soderberg +54
The 2012 explosion of SN2009ip raises questions about our understanding of the late stages of massive star evolution. Here we present a comprehensive study of SN2009ip during its r…
GRB Flares: UV/Optical Flaring (Paper I)
C. A. Swenson, P. W. A. Roming, M. De Pasquale +1
We present a new algorithm for the detection of flares in gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves and use this algorithm to detect flares in the UV/optical. The algorithm makes use of t…
Multi-wavelength Observations of the Type IIb Supernova 2009mg
S. R. Oates, A. J. Bayless, M. D. Stritzinger +11
We present Swift UVOT and XRT observations, and visual wavelength spectroscopy of the Type IIb supernova (SN) 2009mg, discovered in the Sb galaxy ESO 121-G26. The observational pro…
Fermi and Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Population Studies
J. L. Racusin, S. R. Oates, P. Schady +15
The new and extreme population of GRBs detected by Fermi-LAT shows several new features in high energy gamma-rays that are providing interesting and unexpected clues into GRB promp…
A Statistical Comparison of the Optical/UV and X-ray Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts using the Swift Ultra-violet Optical and X-ray Telescopes
S. R. Oates, M. J. Page, P. Schady +11
We present the systematic analysis of the UVOT and XRT light curves for a sample of 26 Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). By comparing the optical/UV and X-ray light curves, we found t…
