E. A. Helder,Patrick S. Broos,Daniel Dewey,E. Dwek,Richard McCray,Sangwook Park,Judith Racusin,Svetozar A. Zhekov,David N. Burrows +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the present stage of SN 1987A as observed by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and find that the 0.5-2.0 keV light curve showed a sudden flattening in 2009, and conclude that the forward shock is still in full interaction with the equatorial ring.

TL;DR: The ROTSE-IIIc telescope at the H.E.S. site, Namibia, obtained the earliest detection of optical emission from a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB), beginning only 21.8 s from the onset of Swift GRB 050801.
