We present optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia SN 1998bu in the Leo I Group galaxy M96 (NGC 3368). The data set consists of 356 photometric measurements and 29...
The Radio Properties of Type Ibc Supernovae (2007)
Over the past few years, long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), including the subclass of X-ray flashes (XRFs), have been revealed to be a rare variety of Type Ibc supernova (SN Ibc). While all these...

Shin, Min-Su, Berger, Edo, Penprase, Bryan E., Fox, Derek B., Price, Paul A., Kulkarni, Shri R., ...
We present a high-resolution Keck/ESI spectrum of GRB, which exhibits four absorption systems at z=1.04329, 1.95260, 1.96337, and 1.98691. The two highest redshift systems, separated by about 2400...
The Automated Palomar 60-Inch Telescope (2006)
Cenko, S. Bradley, Fox, Derek B., Moon, Dae-Sik, Harrison, Fiona A., Kulkarni, S. R., Henning, John R., ...
We have converted the Palomar 60-inch telescope (P60) from a classical night assistant-operated telescope to a fully robotic facility. The automated system, which has been operational since September...
A Broader Perspective on the GRB-SN Connection (2006)
Over the last few years our understanding of local Type Ibc supernovae and their connection to long-duration gamma-ray bursts has been revolutionized. Recent discoveries have shown that the emerging...
Gal-Yam, Avishay, Ofek, Eran O., Poznanski, Dovi, Levinson, Amir, Waxman, Eli, Frail, Dale A., ...
We had previously reported on a survey for radio transients, used to set an upper limit on the number of orphan gamma-ray burst (GRB) radio afterglows, and thus a lower limit on the typical GRB...
