Snowmass Theory Frontier Report
N. Craig, C. Csáki, A. X. El-Khadra +38
This report summarizes the recent progress and promising future directions in theoretical high-energy physics (HEP) identified within the Theory Frontier of the 2021 Snowmass Proce…
Photometry and Proper Motions of M, L, and T Dwarfs from the Pan-STARRS1 3 Survey
William M. J. Best, Eugene A. Magnier, Michael C. Liu +12
We present a catalog of 9888 M, L and T dwarfs detected in the Pan-STARRS1 3 Survey (PS1), covering three-quarters of the sky. Our catalog contains nearly all known objects of…
A Systematic Search for Periodically Varying Quasars in Pan-STARRS1: An Extended Baseline Test in Medium Deep Survey Field MD09
T. Liu, S. Gezari, W. Burgett +10
We present a systematic search for periodically varying quasars and supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidates in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Survey's MD09 field. From…
A Search for L/T Transition Dwarfs With Pan-STARRS1 and WISE. II. L/T Transition Atmospheres and Young Discoveries
William M. J. Best, Michael C. Liu, Eugene A. Magnier +13
The evolution of brown dwarfs from L to T spectral types is one of the least understood aspects of the ultracool population, partly for lack of a large, well-defined, and well-char…
Pan-STARRS Photometric and Astrometric Calibration
Eugene. A. Magnier, Edward. F. Schlafly, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +18
We present the details of the photometric and astrometric calibration of the Pan-STARRS1 Survey. The photometric goals were to reduce the systematic effects introduced by the…
The Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey: The role of galaxy group environment in the star formation rate versus stellar mass relation and quiescent fraction out to
Lihwai Lin, Hung-Yu Jian, Sebastien Foucaud +26
Using a large sample of field and group galaxies drawn from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey, we present the specific star formation rate (SSFR) - stellar mass (M*) relation, as…
The superluminous supernova PS1-11ap: bridging the gap between low and high redshift
M. McCrum, S. J. Smartt, R. Kotak +37
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic coverage of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) PS1-11ap, discovered with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey at z = 0.524. This intr…
Pan-STARRS Pixel Analysis : Source Detection and Characterization
Eugene A. Magnier, W. E. Sweeney, K. C. Chambers +13
Over 3 billion astronomical objects have been detected in the more than 22 million orthogonal transfer CCD images obtained as part of the Pan-STARRS1 survey. Over 85 billion…
The Pan-STARRS Data Processing System
Eugene A. Magnier, K. C. Chambers, H. A. Flewelling +14
The Pan-STARRS Data Processing System is responsible for the steps needed to downloaded, archive, and process all images obtained by the Pan-STARRS telescopes, including real-time…
Pan-STARRS Pixel Processing: Detrending, Warping, Stacking
C. Z. Waters, E. A. Magnier, P. A. Price +17
The Pan-STARRS1 Science Consortium have carried out a set of imaging surveys using the 1.4 giga-pixel GPC1 camera on the PS1 telescope. As this camera is composed of many individua…
