Happy Birthday Swift: Ultra-long GRB141121A and its broad-band Afterglow

A. Cucchiara, P. Veres, A. Corsi +27

We present our extensive observational campaign on the Swift-discovered GRB141121A, al- most ten years after its launch. Our observations covers radio through X-rays, and extends f…

The central engine of GRB 130831A and the energy breakdown of a relativistic explosion

M. De Pasquale, S. R. Oates, J. L. Racusin +37

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions in the universe, yet the nature and physical properties of their energy sources are far from understood. Very important clu…

Several evolutionary channels for bright planetary nebulae

M. G. Richer, M. L. McCall

The populations of bright planetary nebulae in the discs of spirals appear to differ in their spectral properties from those in ellipticals and the bulges of spirals. The bright pl…

Chemical abundances from planetary nebulae in local spiral galaxies

M. G. Richer, M. L. McCall

While the chemical abudances observed in bright planetary nebulae in local spiral galaxies are less varied than their counterparts in dwarfs, they provide new insight. Their helium…

Optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2013dx associated with GRB 130702A

V. L. Toy, S. B. Cenko, J. M. Silverman +33

We present optical and near-infrared light curves and optical spectra of SN 2013dx, associated with the nearby (redshift 0.145) gamma-ray burst GRB 130702A. The prompt isotropic ga…

iPTF14yb: The First Discovery of a GRB Afterglow Independent of a High-Energy Trigger

S. Bradley Cenko, Alex L. Urban, Daniel A. Perley +34

We report here the discovery by the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of iPTF14yb, a luminous ( mag), cosmological (redshift 1.9733), rapidly fading…
