Preliminary Results from the Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP)
Avishay Gal-Yam, S. B. Cenko, D. B. Fox +4
We present preliminary results from the Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP), a large observational program focused on the study of core-collapse SNe. Uniform, high-quality NIR and…
A High-Resolution Spectrum of the Extremely Metal-Rich Bulge G-Dwarf OGLE-2006-BLG-265
Jennifer A. Johnson, Avishay Gal-Yam, Douglas C. Leonard +3
We present an R=45,000 Keck spectrum of the microlensed Galactic bulge G-dwarf OGLE-2006-BLG-265, which has a high (~60) signal-to-noise ratio despite its short (15 min) exposure t…
The gamma-ray burst GRB060614 requires a novel explosive process
A. Gal-Yam, D. Fox, P. Price +26
Over the past decade our physical understanding of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has progressed rapidly thanks to the discovery and observation of their long-lived afterglow emission. Lo…
On the progenitor of SN 2005gl and the nature of Type IIn supernovae
Avishay Gal-Yam, D. C. Leonard, D. B. Fox +8
We present a study of the type IIn supernova (SN) 2005gl, in the relatively nearby (d~66 Mpc) galaxy NGC 266. Photometry and spectroscopy of the SN indicate it is a typical member…
Towards a Cosmological Hubble Diagram for Type II-P Supernovae
Peter Nugent, Mark Sullivan, Richard Ellis +13
We present the first high-redshift Hubble diagram for Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) based upon five events at redshift up to z~0.3. This diagram was constructed using photometry…
A non-spherical core in the explosion of supernova SN 2004dj
Douglas C. Leonard, Alexei V. Filippenko, Mohan Ganeshalingam +9
An important and perhaps critical clue to the mechanism driving the explosion of massive stars as supernovae is provided by the accumulating evidence for asymmetry in the explosion…
