The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011: Dynamical Modeling of the Broad Line Region in Mrk 50
Anna Pancoast, Brendon J. Brewer, Tommaso Treu +33
We present dynamical modeling of the broad line region (BLR) in the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 50 using reverberation mapping data taken as part of the Lick AGN Monitoring Project (LAMP)…
Berkeley Supernova Ia Program I: Observations, Data Reduction, and Spectroscopic Sample of 582 Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Ryan J. Foley, Alexei V. Filippenko +37
In this first paper in a series we present 1298 low-redshift (z\leq0.2) optical spectra of 582 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1989 through 2008 as part of the Berkeley S…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011: Reverberation Mapping of Markarian 50
A. J. Barth, A. Pancoast, S. J. Thorman +46
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011 observing campaign was carried out over the course of 11 weeks in Spring 2011. Here we present the first results from this program, a measureme…
Supernova 2011fe from an Exploding Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarf Star
Peter E. Nugent, Mark Sullivan, S. Bradley Cenko +36
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been used empirically as standardized candles to reveal the accelerating universe even though fundamental details, such as the nature of the progen…
PTF11eon/SN2011dh: Discovery of a Type IIb Supernova From a Compact Progenitor in the Nearby Galaxy M51
Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +40
On May 31, 2011 UT a supernova (SN) exploded in the nearby galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). We discovered this event using small telescopes equipped with CCD cameras, as well as…
Broad-Line Reverberation in the Kepler-Field Seyfert Galaxy Zw 229-015
A. J. Barth, M. L. Nguyen, M. A. Malkan +45
The Seyfert 1 galaxy Zw 229-015 is among the brightest active galaxies being monitored by the Kepler mission. In order to determine the black hole mass in Zw 229-015 from H-beta re…
