Using Colors to Improve Photometric Metallicity Estimates for Galaxies

Nathan E. Sanders, Emily M. Levesque, Alicia M. Soderberg

There is a well known correlation between the mass and metallicity of star-forming galaxies. Because mass is correlated with luminosity, this relation is often exploited, when spec…

The metallicity profile of M31 from spectroscopy of hundreds of HII regions and PNe

Nathan Sanders, Nelson Caldwell, Jonathan McDowell +1

The oxygen abundance gradients among nebular emission line regions in spiral galaxies have been used as important constraints for models of chemical evolution. We present the large…

Multi-Wavelength Observations of Supernova 2011ei: Time-Dependent Classification of Type IIb and Ib Supernovae and Implications for their Progenitors

D. Milisavljevic, R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg +39

We present X-ray, UV/optical, and radio observations of the stripped-envelope, core-collapse supernova (SN) 2011ei, one of the least luminous SNe IIb or Ib observed to date. Our ob…

Ultra-Luminous Supernovae as a New Probe of the Interstellar Medium in Distant Galaxies

E. Berger, R. Chornock, R. Lunnan +27

We present the Pan-STARRS1 discovery and light curves, and follow-up MMT and Gemini spectroscopy of an ultra-luminous supernova (ULSN; dubbed PS1-11bam) at a redshift of z=1.566 wi…

A Spectroscopic Study of Type Ibc Supernova Host Galaxies from Untargeted Surveys

Nathan E. Sanders, Alicia M. Soderberg, Emily M. Levesque +8

We present the largest spectroscopic study of the host environments of Type Ibc supernovae (SN Ibc) discovered exclusively by untargeted SN searches. Past studies of SN Ibc host en…

The Afterglow and Environment of the Short GRB111117A

R. Margutti, E. Berger, W. Fong +10

We present multi-wavelength observations of the afterglow of the short GRB111117A, and follow-up observations of its host galaxy. From rapid optical and radio observations we place…
