    • GRB090426: the environment of a rest-frame 0.35-s gamma-ray burst at a redshift of 2.609 
      Levesque, Emily M.; Bloom, Joshua S.; Butler, Nathaniel R.; Perley, Daniel; Cenko, S. Bradley; Prochaska, Xavier; Kewley, Lisa; Bunker, Andrew; Chen, Hsiao-Wen; Chornock, Ryan; Filippenko, Alexei V.; Glazebrook, Karl; López Morales, Sebastián; Masiero, Joseph; Modjaz, Maryam; Morgan, Adam; Poznanski, Dovi (2010)
      We present the discovery of an absorption-line redshift of z = 2.609 for GRB 090426, establishing the first firm lower limit to a redshift for a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an observed duration of <2 s.With a rest-frame ...
    • THE HIGH-METALLICITY EXPLOSION ENVIRONMENT OF THE RELATIVISTIC SUPERNOVA 2009BB1 
      Levesque, Emily M.; Soderberg, M.; Foley, Ryan J.; Berger, E.; Kewley, Lisa; Chakraborti, S.; Ray, Aurkie; Torres, M. A. P.; Challis, P.; Kirshner, Robert P.; Barthelmy, S. D.; Bietenholz, M. F.; Chandra, P.; Chaplin, V.; Chevalier, R. A.; Chugai, N.; Connaughton, V.; Copete, A.; Fox, O.; Fransson, C.; Grindlay, J. E.; Hamuy Wackenhut, Mario; Milne, P. A.; Pignata Libralato, Giuliano; Stritzinger, M. D.; Wieringa, M. H. (2009-12)
      We investigate the environment of the nearby (d 40 Mpc) broad-lined Type Ic supernova SN 2009bb. This event was observed to produce a relativistic outflow likely powered by a central ac- creting compact object. While ...
    • No supernovae associated with two long-duration gamma-ray bursts 
      Fynbo, Johan P. U.; Watson, Darach; Thöne, Christina C.; Sollerman, Jesper; Bloom, Joshua S.; Davis, Tamara M.; Hjorth, Jens; Jakobsson, Páll; Jørgensen, Uffe G.; Graham, John F.; Fruchter, Andrew S.; Bersier, David; Kewley, Lisa; Cassan, Arnaud; Castro Cerón, José María; Foley, Suzanne; Gorosabel, Javier; Hinse, Tobias C.; Horne, Keith D.; Jensen, Brian L.; Klose, Sylvio; Kocevski, Daniel; Marquette, Jean-Baptiste; Perley, Daniel; Ramírez Ruiz, Enrico; Stritzinger, Maximilian D.; Vreeswijk, Paul M.; Wijers, Ralph A. M.; Woller, Kristian G.; Xu, Dong; Zub, Marta (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2006-12-21)
      It is now accepted that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced during the collapse of a massive star(1,2). The standard 'collapsar' model(3) predicts that a broad-lined and luminous type Ic core-collapse supernova ...
