    A tale of two GRB-SNe at a common redshift of z=0.54
    We present ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope optical observations of the optical transients (OTs) of long-duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) 060729 and...

    A Unique Star in the Outer Halo of the Milky Way
    As part of a program to measure abundance ratios in stars beyond 15 kpc from the Galactic center, we have discovered a metal-poor star in the outer halo with a...

    Active galactic nuclei and nuclear starbursts.
    The Starburst model for radio-quiet Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) postulates that the activity seen in most AGN is powered solely by young stars and compact...

    An early-time infrared and optical study of the Type Ia Supernova 1998bu in M96
    We present first-season infrared (IR) and optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia Supernova 1998bu in M96. We also report optical polarimetry of this...

    Characterizing the environments of supernovae with MUSE
    We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in six nearby galaxies (z ≲ 0.016). All galaxies were observed with...
