Detection of Time Lags Between Quasar Continuum Emission Bands based on Pan-STARRS Light-curves

Yan-Fei Jiang, Paul J. Green, Jenny E. Greene +21

We study the time lags between the continuum emission of quasars at different wavelengths, based on more than four years of multi-band (, , , ) light-curves in the Pan-…

Reverberation Mapping with Intermediate-Band Photometry: Detection of Broad-Line H Time Lags for Quasars at

Linhua Jiang, Yue Shen, Ian D. McGreer +3

We present a reverberation mapping (RM) experiment that combines broad- and intermediate-band photometry; it is the first such attempt targeting a sample of 13 quasars at $0.2<z<0.…

The Complex Structure of Stars in the Outer Galactic Disk as revealed by Pan-STARRS1

Colin T. Slater, Eric F. Bell, Edward F. Schlafly +19

We present a panoptic view of the stellar structure in the Galactic disk's outer reaches commonly known as the Monoceros Ring, based on data from Pan-STARRS1. These observations cl…

Estimating Black Hole Masses in Hundreds of Quasars

Nina Hernitschek, Hans-Walter Rix, Jo Bovy +1

We explore the practical feasibility of AGN broad-band reverberation mapping and present first results. We lay out and apply a rigorous approach for stochastic reverberation mappin…

Candidate Periodically Variable Quasars from the Dark Energy Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao +62

Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confir…

Lacerta I and Cassiopeia III: Two luminous and distant Andromeda satellite dwarf galaxies found in the 3π Pan-STARRS1 survey

Nicolas F. Martin, Colin T. Slater, Edward F. Schlafly +17

We report the discovery of two new dwarf galaxies, Lacerta I/Andromeda XXXI (Lac I/And XXXI) and Cassiopeia III/Andromeda XXXII (Cas III/And XXXII), in stacked Pan-STARRS1 r_P1- an…
