TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present optical spectra of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac, which extends from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual in several respects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used PTF observations of fields that were observed multiple times (≳10) per night, for several nights, to find asteroids, construct their light curves and measure their rotation periods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present light curves of the afterglow of GRB 050502A, including very early data at ttGRB <60 s. The light curve is composed of unfiltered ROTSE-IIIb optical observations from 44 s to 6 hours postburst, R-band MDM observations from 1.6 to 8.4 hr postburst.
