Journal ArticleDOI
A single low-energy, iron-poor supernova as the source of metals in the star SMSS J031300.36−670839.3
Stefan Keller,Michael S. Bessell,Anna Frebel,Andrew R. Casey,Martin Asplund,Heather R. Jacobson,Karin Lind,John E. Norris,David Yong,Alexander Heger,Zazralt Magic,G. S. Da Costa,Brian P. Schmidt,P. Tisserand +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that low-energy supernovae were common in the early Universe, and that suchsupernovae yielded light-element enrichment with insignificant iron.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a photometric redshift of z~9.4 for the Swift-detected GRB 090429B based on deep observations with Gemini-North, the Very Large Telescope, and the GRB Optical and Near-infrared Detector.
Journal ArticleDOI
The afterglow, energetics, and host galaxy of the short-hard gamma-ray burst 051221a

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present detailed optical, X-ray, and radio observations of the bright afterglow of the short gamma-ray burst 051221a obtained with Gemini, Swift XRT, and the Very Large Array, as well as optical spectra from which they measure the redshift of the burst, z = 0.5464.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fast radio burst (FRB 140514) was found to be 21 ± 7 per cent (3σ) circularly polarized on the leading edge with a 1σ upper limit on linear polarization < 10 per cent.
