TL;DR: In this article, the photometric calibration of the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) was performed with observations of standard stars and standard star fields that represent a wide range of spectral star types.

TL;DR: The TMT Detailed Science Case describes the transformational science that the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will enable as mentioned in this paper, and more than 150 astronomers from within the TMT partnership and beyond offered input in compiling the new 2015 detailed science case, including the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), the NaOJ, the University of California, the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy (ACURA) and US associate partner, AU

TL;DR: In this paper, an extremely bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 160625B was observed in both gamma and optical wavelengths, with three isolated episodes separated by long quiescent intervals, with the durations of each sub-burst being approximately 0.8, 35, and 212 seconds.

TL;DR: Spectral analysis of the Swift observations of GRB 060614 shows that the burst presents standard optical, ultraviolet and X-ray afterglows, detected beginning 4 ks after the trigger, and that the peak energy of the burst has decreased to as low as 8 keV at the beginning of the XRT observation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the bump can be modeled with a SN having the same temporal profile as the other proposed hypernova SN2002ap, but 1.3 mag brighter at peak, and located at the GRB redshift.
