A Potential Progenitor for the Type Ic Supernova 2017ein

Charles D. Kilpatrick, Tyler Takaro, Ryan J. Foley +9

We report the first detection of a credible progenitor system for a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic), SN 2017ein. We present spectra and photometry of the SN, finding it to be similar to…

The Detection of Intergalactic Halpha Emission from the Slug Nebula at z~2.3

Camille N. Leibler, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Bradford P. Holden +1

The Slug Nebula is one of the largest and most luminous Lyman-alpha (LyA) nebulae discovered to date, extending over 450 kiloparsecs (kpc) around the bright quasar UM287 at z=2.283…

Two more, bright, z > 6 quasars from VST ATLAS and WISE

B. Chehade, A. C. Carnall, T. Shanks +10

Recently, Carnall et al. discovered two bright high redshift quasars using the combination of the VST ATLAS and WISE surveys. The technique involved using the 3-D colour plane i-z:…

Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey

R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +31

We present light curves and classification spectra of 17 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1 MDS). Our sample contains all o…

Rapidly-Evolving and Luminous Transients from Pan-STARRS1

M. R. Drout, R. Chornock, A. M. Soderberg +33

In the past decade, several rapidly-evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SN) models. The s…

Cosmological Constraints from Measurements of Type Ia Supernovae discovered during the first 1.5 years of the Pan-STARRS1 Survey

A. Rest, D. Scolnic, R. J. Foley +46

We present griz light curves of 146 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia Supernovae () discovered during the first 1.5 years of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. T…
