Doublier,Jean Fran ois Gonzalez,Jean Fran ois Gonzalez,Olivier Hainaut,Chris Lidman,Bruno Leibundgut,Ken'ichi Nomoto,Takayoshi Nakamura,Jason Spyromilio,Luca Rizzi,Massimo Turatto,Jeremy R. Walsh,Titus Galama,Jan van Paradijs,Chryssa Kouveliotou,Paul Vreeswijk,Filippo Frontera,N. Masetti,Eliana Palazzi,Elena Pian +26 more
TL;DR: In this article, the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the peculiar SN 1998bw, associated with GRB 980425, through an analysis of optical and near-IR data collected at ESOLa Silla was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hubble Space Telescope and Palomar imaging of GRB 990123: Implications for the nature of gamma-ray bursts and their hosts
Andrew S. Fruchter,Stephen E. Thorsett,Mark R. Metzger,Kailash C. Sahu,Larry Petro,Mario Livio,Henry C. Ferguson,Elena Pian,David W. Hogg,Titus Galama,Theodore R. Gull,Chryssa Kouveliotou,D. Macchetto,D. Macchetto,Jan van Paradijs,Jan van Paradijs,Holger Pedersen,Alain Smette +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optical transient (OT) associated with GRB 990123 is located on an irregular galaxy, with a magnitude of V = 24.20 ± 0.15.
Journal ArticleDOI
The optical counterpart to γ-ray burst GRB970228 observed using the Hubble Space Telescope
Kailash C. Sahu,Mario Livio,Larry Petro,F. Duccio Macchetto,Jan van Paradijs,Jan van Paradijs,Chryssa Kouveliotou,Gerald J. Fishman,Charles A. Meegan,Paul J. Groot,Titus Galama +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, observations using the Hubble Space Telescope of the transient counterpart and extended source 26 and 39 days after the initial gamma-ray outburst are reported. But the extended source exhibits no significant change in brightness between the two dates of the observations reported here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical mechanisms for the variable spin-down and light curve of SGR 1900+14
Christopher Thompson,Robert C. Duncan,P. M. Woods,P. M. Woods,Chryssa Kouveliotou,Chryssa Kouveliotou,Mark H. Finger,Mark H. Finger,Jan van Paradijs,Jan van Paradijs +9 more
TL;DR: The physical implications of the rapid spin-down of soft gamma repeater SGR 1900+14 reported by Woods and colleagues in 1999 were investigated in this paper, showing that the acceleration of spindown can be powered by a steady current flowing through the magnetosphere, induced by the twisting motion of the crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of kiloHertz quasi-periodic oscillations in GX 17+2

TL;DR: In this article, the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer was used to observe the low-mass X-ray binary and Z source GX 17+2 with the Rossi x-ray timing Explorer during 1997 February 6-8, April 1-4, and July 26-27.
