    • Optical Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae 

      Matheson, T.; Kirshner, Robert P.; Challis, Peter M.; Jha, S.; Garnavich, P. M.; Berlind, Perry; Calkins, Michael Lee; Blondin, S.; Balog, Z.; Bragg, A. E.; Caldwell, Nelson; Concannon, K. Dendy; Falco, E. E.; Graves, G. J. M.; Huchra, J. P.; Kuraszkiewicz, Joanna; Mader, J. A.; Mahdavi, A.; Phelps, Matthew William; Rines, K.; Song, I.; Wilkes, Belinda Jane (IOP Publishing, 2008)
      We present 432 low-dispersion optical spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that also have well-calibrated light curves. The coverage ranges from 6 epochs to 36 epochs of spectroscopy. Most of the data were obtained ...

    • Rapidly evolving and luminous transients from Pan-STARRS1 

      Drout, Maria Rebecca; Chornock, R; Soderberg, Alicia M.; Sanders, Nathan Edward; McKinnon, R.; Rest, Armin Wolfgang; Foley, R. J.; Milisavljevic, Danny; Margutti, R; Berger, Edo; Calkins, Michael Lee; Fong, W; Gezari, S.; Huber, M. E.; Kankare, E.; Kirshner, Robert P.; Leibler, C.; Lunnan, R; Mattila, S.; Marion, G. H.; Narayan, Gautham Siddharth; Riess, A. G.; Roth, K. C.; Scolnic, D.; Smartt, S. J.; Tonry, J. L.; Burgett, W. S.; Chambers, K. C.; Hodapp, K. W.; Jedicke, R.; Kaiser, N.; Magnier, E. A.; Metcalfe, N.; Morgan, J. S.; Price, P. A.; Waters, C. (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      In the past decade, several rapidly evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SNe) models. The sample size of these objects has remained ...

    • Steps toward Determination of the Size and Structure of the Broad‐Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei. XVI. A 13 Year Study of Spectral Variability in NGC 5548 

      Peterson, B. M.; Berlind, Perry; Bertram, R.; Bischoff, K.; Bochkarev, N. G.; Borisov, N.; Burenkov, A. N.; Calkins, Michael Lee; Carrasco, L.; Chavushyan, V. H.; Chornock, R; Dietrich, M.; Doroshenko, V. T.; Ezhkova, O. V.; Filippenko, A. V.; Gilbert, A. M.; Huchra, J. P.; Kollatschny, W.; Leonard, D. C.; Li, W.; Lyuty, V. M.; Malkov, Yu. F.; Matheson, T.; Merkulova, N. I.; Mikhailov, V. P.; Modjaz, M.; Onken, C. A.; Pogge, R. W.; Pronik, V. I.; Qian, B.; Romano, P.; Sergeev, S. G.; Sergeeva, E. A.; Shapovalova, A. I.; Spiridonova, O. I.; Tao, J.; Tokarz, S.; Valdes, J. R.; Vlasiuk, V. V.; Wagner, R. M.; Wilkes, Belinda Jane (IOP Publishing, 2002)
      We present the final installment of an intensive 13 year study of variations of the optical continuum and broad Hβ emission line in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. The database consists of 1530 optical continuum measurements ...

    • X‐Ray and Optical Variability in NGC 4051 and the Nature of Narrow‐Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies 

      Peterson, B. M.; McHardy, I. M.; Wilkes, Belinda Jane; Berlind, Perry; Bertram, R.; Calkins, Michael Lee; Collier, S. J.; Huchra, J. P.; Mathur, S.; Papadakis, I.; Peters, J.; Pogge, R. W.; Romano, P.; Tokarz, S.; Uttley, P.; Vestergaard, M.; Wagner, R. M. (IOP Publishing, 2000)
      We report on the results of a three-year program of coordinated X-ray and optical monitoring of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051. The rapid continuum variations observed in the X-ray spectra are not detected in ...
