Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey
T. Liu, S. Gezari, M. Ayers +9
We present a systematic search for periodically varying quasar and supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidates in the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. From color-s…
A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
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…
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-…
Spectral analysis of four 'hypervariable' AGN: a microneedle in the haystack?
A. Bruce, A. Lawrence, C. MacLeod +13
We analyze four extreme active galactic nuclei (AGN) transients to explore the possibility that they are caused by rare, high-amplitude microlensing events. These previously unknow…
The Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Variable Object Selection and Anticipated Results
Eric Morganson, Paul J. Green, Scott F. Anderson +37
We present the selection algorithm and anticipated results for the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS). TDSS is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject that will provide initial identifica…
