It is possible with the condition that the window/tab was opened via javascript. Otherwise, the user will be presented with a modal confirmation dialog stating that a script is attempting to close the window.

Yes you can close a window

window.close();//This will close the window

But you will get a confirm box while closing it. If the window in opened using javascript window.open() then you will not see this confirm dialog.
