Acolades are in order for/to Dr. Michael Richmond, currently
at The Rochester Institute of Technology, and to Dr. Arne Henden
of the U.S. Naval Observatory (Flagstaff, AZ) for all of their
assistance in helping me find the resources for the research
necessary to complete this work.
Additionally, I would like to recognize Drs. Hitoshi Yamaoka
(Kyushu University) and Taichi Kato (Kyoto University) of the
International Supernova Network for their invaluable input and
insight into various stellar objects. Their open and
result-oriented system of data accumulation and dissemination is
one of the most productive in the world, and a model for other
supernovae/novae/variable star search programs.
The attendees of the 5th Gamma Ray Burst Symposium who did not
dampen my fire to learn more. Alan Harmon, Nick Rattenberry, Eric
Gotthelf, Sri Kulkarni, and virtually every other person there
was willing to listen, to correct me when necessary, and to
enhance my experience at the 5GRBS.
